Buffalo Place will produce the free outdoor summer series, Thursday & Main, weekly from June 5th through July 31, 2025 in Downtown Buffalo at Fountain Plaza.
The series continues to pay homage to the venerable Buffalo Place-produced summer tradition, Thursday at the Square. Thursday & Main is presented by M&T Bank.
Thursday, July 31st marks the grand finale of the season and an evening with Donna the Buffalo, the beloved roots-rock ensemble from Trumansburg, New York. Celebrated for their eclectic fusion of Americana, zydeco, folk, rock, and reggae, the band delivers groove-heavy, danceable music that resonates with audiences across generations. Led by founding members Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear, Donna the Buffalo has been captivating fans since 1989 with their spirited live shows and community-driven ethos. Their devoted fanbase, affectionately known as “The Herd,” follows them from festival to festival, drawn by the band's uplifting lyrics and infectious rhythms. As co-founders of the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival, Donna the Buffalo embodies the spirit of togetherness and celebration, making their performance a fitting and joyous conclusion to our 2025 season.
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 Crowley Webb, Big Ditch Brewing Company, Hyatt Regency Buffalo, Iroquois Construction Services, Katz Americas, Labatt, Lawley, Lemur Studios, National Grid, Premium Parking, The Buffalo News, Try-It Distributing, Uber, and VanDette Law.
