Citybration: A Weekend-Long Celebration of Our Great City

Beginning on Thursday, June 25^th Buffalo will commence its fourth annual celebration of the city known as the Buffalo Homecoming Citybration.  It will be a four-day career, networking and discovery festival, ending on Sunday, June 28th, and showcasing the positive assets that make Buffalo a wonderful city to live and work in.  The ultimate goal is to attract new professionals and businesses to the area, while continuing to grow together as a community towards greater achievements for all.  

Mayor Byron Brown introduced the festival at a press conference on the Portico of City Hall.  He took pride in stating, "The Buffalo Homecoming Citybration is a weekend to take stock in who we are as a city." Citybration poses a way to celebrate the good things that surround us.

Opportunity is  the main focus of the festival.  "The Investor and Entrepreneur High Tech Forum on Thursday, June 25^th is followed by the fourth annual Career Fair on Friday, June 26^th," explains event organizer Marti Gorman.  The Forum will take place at the Albright-Knox and the Career Fair will be in the Atrium of the ECC City Campus in Downtown Buffalo.  It is an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs and innovators of all kinds.  On top of that, breakfast and lunch will be provided. 

Other events will include over a dozen tours all around the city.  Tours include the Downtown Housing Tour, and new Art Gallery Tour, and Buffalo Movie Tour, and tours of the beautiful villages within the community.  "These are great ways to discover whole new facets of Buffalo," said Gorman.  The festival will conclude with a parade on Ring Road in Delaware Park on Sunday. 

It is obvious that Buffalo has enormous potential, and Gorman hopes that people will use festival as a wonderful opportunity to explore the city, create family time, and most of all have fun.
