Buffalo Irish Festival
For 30 years, this Irish Festival has been a mainstay event in Buffalo. Over the past few years the event was held out in Hamburg. Now the home for the festival is The Statler.
The monstrous windows of The Statler that overlook Niagara Square, along with the grand ballroom, make The Statler a great venue for the Buffalo Irish Festival.
