The One Spring Festival That’s So Perfectly Buffalo

The Totally Buffalo Festival celebrates Buffalo's local businesses and vendors with a spring event at RiverWorks.

If there's one thing Buffalonians love, it's celebrating our city any chance we get, and what better way to do that than with a festival dedicated to the best businesses and vendors from the 716? The Totally Buffalo Festival is coming up soon, so mark your calendars and read on to see why you need to be at this one spring festival that's so perfectly Buffalo. Pack your bags, because this is one of the best spring festivals in Buffalo, NY and you don't want to miss it.

The annual Totally Buffalo Festival is being held at RiverWorks on May 25th and 26th from 10:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Admission to the event is only $5, with free admission for children five and under.

The event was started by Totally Buffalo, a local organization and blog run by former news anchor and reporter Mary Friona.

Friona is an enthusiastic supporter of all things Buffalo and that's exactly what this festival is — a love letter to the city.

This year's event is set to feature 85 local vendors.

There's a little something for everyone at the Totally Buffalo Festival, and if the turn out is anything like last year, you'll want to grab your tickets soon! Perusing the vendors is big fun and you're almost guaranteed to find something you love with so many local businesses attending.

So what can you expect at this perfectly Buffalo festival?

Buffalo-centric artwork, home decor items, food, and more can all be found along the rows of vendors at the Totally Buffalo Festival. Even if you're visiting, you'll feel like a native.

Here are just a few of our favorites:

For starters, this stuff is our JAM (pun definitely intended). This jam is one of many goods that will be available at the Totally Buffalo Festival. It tastes great, but our favorite part is that it's locally made and packaged. It's delicious and you can keep it in your pantry for ages, waiting for just the right moment for a special bite.

Food, food, and more food. What would a Buffalo festival be without amazing food to indulge in? Along with plenty of wings (obviously), the Totally Buffalo Festival will feature other local favorites, like these amazing Adam's Apples.

You can also spot lots of local organizations like the police and firefighting crews who work hard to keep Buffalo safe.

Bring a piece of Buffalo home with you.

Buffalo artwork makes for the best souvenir, don't you think? Whether you grab a cutting board adorned with a Buffalo head etching, an amazing driftwood candle holder, or an original painting for your home, you'll be sure to find something to fit your style at the Totally Buffalo Festival.
