Funk And Soul Night Closes Out Circle Thursdays At Buffalo Central Terminal

Summer always seems to fly by, but before we start talking about fall, there's one more Circle Thursday you don't want to miss.

This Thursday, August 6, the Buffalo Central Terminal is closing out another incredible season with Funk & Soul Night, and if you've been looking for an excuse to get out of the house, this is it. From 5 to 8 p.m., Memorial Circle will be filled with great music, good food, and even better people.

One thing I love about Circle Thursdays is that it's more than just a concert. It's a chance to see Buffalo show up for Buffalo. Families bring their lawn chairs, friends reconnect after work, kids dance in the circle, and local vendors get the opportunity to share what they do with the community. It's the kind of event that reminds you why we love this city.

The Buffalo Central Terminal has become one of those places where history and community meet. Every event held there continues to breathe new life into one of Buffalo's most recognizable landmarks while creating new memories for the people who call this city home.

For the season finale, expect live performances that will keep you moving, DJs spinning your favorite funk and soul classics, and plenty of local food vendors serving up something good to eat. Whether you're planning to dance the entire evening or just kick back and enjoy the atmosphere, there's something for everyone.

The best part? It's completely FREE and open to all ages.

So grab a chair, text your crew, bring the family, and come enjoy one last summer evening together. Let's close out Circle Thursdays the Buffalo way, with good music, good people, and great energy.
