Editor's Picks: Weekly Best Bets in WNY | August 8 - August 14
The weather is exceptional, and there is no dearth of outdoor events in Buffalo. Grab a blanket and a bottle of vino and head to Shakespeare Hill in Delaware Park to take in The Taming of the Shrew any evening except Monday. If you're looking for a Monday evening outside, head instead to Canalside. Wedding of the Waters tells the Erie Canal Story in ways you've never seen before.
Tuesday is Buffalo Day at Chautauqua. Get in free and check out the excellent program. Stop off at the Naval Park on your way home for the Party at the Park aboard the USS Little Rock. Grab a hump day laugh at the hilarious, audience-driven Defiant Monkey Improv Comedy Show at the Kenan Center, and catch Celtic rockers the Glengarry Bhoys at Essex Arts Center Friday evening. This benefit for the Ashford Hollow Foundation is shaping up to be one of the best parties of the summer.
Start your Saturday outdoors at the Community Wellness Fair & Walk at Ellicott Creek Park, stop off at the delightful UHAA! Art Festival for an hour or two, and then head to the Jack Craft Fair inside the massive Central Terminal featuring more than 100 vendors and lots of how-to classes. Then celebrate the life and music of Prince at Milkies on Elmwood at Housequake - Prince Dance Party. Wrap up the weekend at Yelp Without Borders, a scrumptious world cuisine way to eat well and support the International Institute.
Here are this week's best bets:
