BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Mark those calendars! The Elmwood Village ArtFest is set to return in August.

The Elmwood Village Association said the second annual event will include local artwork, live entertainment at Bidwell Parkway, and the Elmwood Extreme Eats competition.

“We were thrilled at the response to last year’s new festival and look forward to growing this event every year within the community,” said James Cichocki, EVA executive director. “It is a great way to support local artists and performers as well as the small businesses in the Elmwood Village, and it just somehow feels like the last hurrah of summer.”

In March 2023, the organizers of the Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts announced that the festival would come to an end. Just two weeks later, the EVA announced it would take over management of the festival with a new name, the Elmwood Village Artfest.
