Buffalo Chow Upcoming Food Events

Over thirty years old, the annual Greek Heritage Festival (aka the Buffalo Hellenic Festival) includes food, music, and dancing over a three-day period in June. A $2 admission fee for patrons over the age of 12 provides access to continuous live music and folk dancing, plus vendors of hot and cold Greek foods, a bakery, and gift shops. Pastries, including Baklava, Koulourakia, and Greek wedding cakes, are expected to be highlights, along with homemade rice pudding and Greek coffee.

Held at the Augustana Lutheran Church, the Swedish Heritage Festival promises access to traditional Swedish foods and beverages, a sponsored Swedish store, and folk dancing accompanied by a live band. A $1 admission ticket is required for access, but enters you in a raffle for one of a number of prizes from local merchants.

This wine and cheese event provides separate wine tastings at ten different Niagara Wine Trail wineries for a single $20 price, including free paired cheeses and a commemorative wine glass that you take from place to place. You can also individually access certain wineries for a fee of around $2-3 per tasting. Participants need to schedule their own transportation from site to site, which is offered by local companies.
