Popular Festival Returning to Buffalo This Spring

This past Wednesday was a tease for everyone in Western New York. It went up to 50 degrees and the snow was melting, which gave everyone a brief glimpse into what lies ahead for the spring.

Springtime in Buffalo is glorious. It's the reward that we got past another harsh winter. The first day you can drive with the windows down in your car. The sound of birds chirping in the trees. It also marks the return of events and festivals (including outdoor concerts) in Western New York.

April is typically the month when we see the return of major festivals, and Buffalo RiverWorks is one of the best places to attend them. One event in particular is returning this April.

According to their Facebook page, Buffalo RiverWorks is bringing back ThawFest on April 9th.

ThawFest is exactly how it's described. An event that celebrates the spring and the warming temperatures in Buffalo.

It will feature local breweries and wineries to sample from, great food, and live music, which is always a plus for attending an event at Buffalo RiverWorks.

March is when spring officially starts, but as we should know by now in Buffalo, March is a mixed bag of weather changes. It could be 70 degrees and sunny one day. The next could be 30 and snow.

April is always the month I most look forward to. That's the month we really start to see significant changes to the weather for the better in Western New York.

Can we just skip the next four weeks or so?

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
