Buffalo is the City of Good Neighbors and some of the strongest bonds that exist in Western New York are with the communities we live in and with the people we grew up with. Our neighbors are our friends. Our friends are our family. And the cultures we share are treasured as much as anything else.
At Sahlen Field, we want to celebrate the many unique and colorful cultures that make Western New York the greatest place to live. A staple for years at Sahlen Field is the Bisons popular Festival Night Series, presented by Connect Life, as we celebrate what makes us....us!
Our Festival Night Lineup in 2023 includes Irish Festival Night (June 13), Native American Heritage Night (June 17), Italian Festival Night (July 25), Polish Festival Night (August 16) and Hispanic Heritage Night (September 9).
We're down to our final Festival Night of the Season. As part of a Honda fridaynightbash! on Friday, September 8, we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Night in partnership with the Hispanic Heritage Council. Look at all that's on tap for a fun-filled night at the ballpark!
