Bisons Festival Nights

Celebrating WNY's great Heritages!

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 2025 includes Irish Festival Night (June 24), Native American Heritage Night (June 28), Italian Festival Night (July 29), Polish Festival Night (August 12) and Hispanic Heritage Night (September 5).
