Join us at Roosevelt Plaza in September!

Introducing The Hiker Music Series at Roosevelt Plaza! We weren’t quite ready to say goodbye to outdoor live music Downtown. Buffalo’s music community is filled with incredibly talented people, so we called up some of our favorite musicians and longtime friends and asked them to join us at Roosevelt Plaza this fall.

Beginning September 2, The Hiker Music Series will bring FREE live music to the plaza every Wednesday and Friday from 5-7 p.m. Meet us at The Hiker before your dinner reservation, theatre show, or Bisons game - or grab some takeout from your favorite Downtown spot, bring it over to the plaza and stay awhile.

The Hiker Music Series is presented by Buffalo Place with support from Buffalo Urban Development Corporation - BUDC.

We’ll miss seeing everyone at Fountain Plaza tomorrow, our 10th Anniversary Season was one for the books! We wanted to take a moment to thank the sponsors and partners whose support makes this free Downtown concert series possible. We truly could not do it without them.

Thursday & Main is made possible with the generous support of our official sponsor family. The series is presented by M&T Bank and supported by Big Ditch Brewing Company Iroquois Bar Corp Katz Americas Lawley National Grid Premium Parking The Buffalo News Try-It Distributing VanDette Law PLLC and Yuengling Beer.

We are also grateful to the talented artists who joined us this summer, our food and beverage partners, the crew and staff who worked behind the scenes, and every guest who spent a Thursday evening with us.

Although Mother Nature presented a few challenges this season, we are incredibly thankful for the memorable nights we were able to share. Thank you for continuing to support Thursday & Main and for helping us celebrate this milestone season!

We checked our receipts, and Robert Randolph has been bringing the party to Downtown Buffalo for decades. 🔥These throwback photos span two incredible Lafayette Square performances: July 27, 2006 - almost exactly 20 years ago - and June 11, 2009.

Were you there for either show? Tonight, Robert Randolph returns to Downtown Buffalo for our Season 10 finale at Fountain Plaza with special guest The Damone Jackson Outcome. Let’s make a little more history!

No punts. All pedal steel. 🏈🎸

Everyone in Buffalo may have football on the brain, but this Thursday, we’re closing out Season 10 of Thursday & Main with the one and only Robert Randolph!
