It's amazing how far downtown Buffalo has come in the past couple of years especially around Canalside. From the new restaurants, to the major concerts, boating, water bikes, ice skating and the list goes on and on. It's definitely a fun time to be in Western New York.

According to VenuesToday, Canalside will expected to host over 1,000 events in 2015.

Until five years ago, the land was barren and inaccessible, but today the growing regional destination and entertainment district, situated on 21 historic acres along downtown Buffalo’s emerging waterfront on the Buffalo River, has been reclaimed by the state’s Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation and developed with millions of dollars in public and private investment,” said Ryan Coate, general manager at Global Spectrum, a private venue management company that works with its client, the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation".
