Celebrate 716 Day at Front Park, one of our city’s most beloved green spaces on the west side of Buffalo.

Gather friends and fellow park enthusiasts for a refined, yet approachable cocktail and dinner reception, then stroll through the park to enjoy the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra perform as the sun sets along Lake Erie. A special wine pull with gourmet picnic items will be offered during the cocktail hour for you to bring to the concert!

This fundraising event will be held in lieu of the annual gala traditionally scheduled for September. All proceeds will benefit the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy in its mission to provide exceptional park experiences for all.
