Overview

Boom Days Buffalo, an annual celebration of Spring marking the removal of the ice boom, is back this May! Join us on Saturday May 18, 2024 from 2:30pm to 8:30pm at Duende & Silo City (85 Silo City Row, Buffalo, NY 14223) for a full day of festivities.

Rick Smith, along with Paul Dyster and others, put together the first Boom Days celebration in 2001. “It’s our region’s unique way to be thankful for the end of our strong winter and welcome spring,” Smith said.  It’s time to continue the tradition! Join us as we toast to spring, enjoy live music, launch the boom ball, watch fireworks, and have an all around blast!

Boom Days is sponsored by Rigidized Metals Corp. with support from Duende at Silo City.
