As the weather continues to get nicer outside, it’s time to start planning your summer around the various food festivals and events that are held around Western New York. Of course we all know about the Wingfest and Taste of Buffalo, but did you know that the Buffalo Zoo is hosting an event with food trucks and bands? Or about a West Side festival that’s devoted to various ethnic cuisines and cultures? How about a festival in Cuba that’s dedicated to Garlic? Yep, those all exist. Start planning your summer now.
