The Taste of Buffalo will held virtually this year. Lots of people have questioned what that looks like, since it is a food festival. Organizer said there will be virtual entertainment, cooking demos and more. Food will be available to participating restaurants, food trucks and wineries via takeout.
It seems inevitable that this will be the continuing theme for the summer, with other food festivals either going virtual or cancelling.
