"The series traces its roots back to 1987, when Fountain Plaza hosted the first season of Thursday at the Park, produced and managed by Buffalo Place. Just one year later, growing crowds prompted a move to Lafayette Square, where the series became Thursday at the Square - a beloved Buffalo tradition for decades. In 2016, Buffalo Place reintroduced the series as Thursday & Main, returning live music to its original home at Fountain Plaza while honoring its rich history and community impact."
The series is presented by M&T Bank and supported by 7 WKBW, Big Ditch Brewing Company, Iroquois Construction Services, Katz Americas, Lawley, National Grid, Premium Parking, The Buffalo News, Try-It Distributing, VanDette Law and Yuengling. You can find more information here.
