Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - M&T Bank announced the return of the Plaza Event Series for its 52nd season in Buffalo.
For ten weeks spanning from June 14th to August 18th, the bank welcomes all to attend their lunchtime concerts outside One M&T Plaza every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at noon.
"Since the Plaza Event Series was launched in 1969. It's been a way to fulfill a purpose beyond entertainment. Of course, we want to have fun. We encourage everyone to come out, grab a bite to eat, we'll have food trucks. It's also a way to bring our neighbors together to connect, build relationships and foster a deeper sense of community here in Western New York," said Eric Feldstein, M&T Bank Western New York Regional President.
Food trucks coming include, The Cheesy Chick on Tuesdays, Sun Roll on Wednesdays and House of Munch on Thursdays.
A new addition this year is "pop-up shops," which provides a platform for local businesses and artists to connect with locals and showcase their work to the community.
The 2022 lineup of performers welcomes back crowd favorites, such as Old School B-Boys, Terry Buchwald’s Tribute to Elvis, Beatlemagic, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and many others that have been performing on the Plaza Event Series stage for years. This season will also bring the debuts of first-time performers, such as Top Knotch, 716 Dance Band and Moe Badger and UP Team.
“One M&T Plaza has always been a fantastic gathering place for people who work, live and visit Downtown Buffalo to spend their lunch hour surrounded by the community and immersed in local music,” said Lynn Waclawek, M&T Bank employee experience program manager. “With its eclectic mix of performers, brand new pop-up shops and rotating lineup of food trucks, this year’s Plaza Event Series will offer memorable experiences that bring smiles to our faces and uplift our spirits.”
