Elmwood Festival of the Arts

The Elmwood Festival of the Arts will take place this weekend. This is a great way to end the summer. This open-air arts festival is very similar to the Allentown Arts festival which takes place in Buffalo earlier in the summer. Only this festival is more family friendly, with lots of kids activities. The festival features art vendors, lots of food, and musical entertainment. It takes place this weekend Saturday August 29 from 10am-6pm and Sunday August 30 from 10am to 5pm. For more information see http://www.elmwoodartfest.org/

Rose Lummis boat cruise on the Erie Canal
