BUFFALO, N.Y. — The 8th annual Beau Fleuve Music & Arts celebration promises to be bigger and better on the grounds of the historic Central Terminal.
There are several events including a VIP reception, Backyard Barbecue, and Golf Open.
"We're doing a little bit of a twist. We're taking the nostalgic feeling of the cookout, the BBQ that you're having with your family, where you have the great food, the dominoes, you have the spades table, you have the line dance. You have all of these elements from the barbecue and the cookout to really bring people together, have a have a great time. And then on Saturday, we're having our open golf which we're bringing the culture to the golf course as the game of golf is expanding. y. We want to continue to be that bridge from the culture, from the novice golfer to the experienced golfer, to diverse backgrounds, from women to communities of color, to really engage in the game of golf," Lindsey Taylor, founder said.
Beau Fleueve is all about celebrating arts, music, and culture.
"Buffalo is a very diverse city, at the same time we have a lot of segregation in between lines. But arts and culture can be that bridge where communities can come together and really bond connect and network," he said.
August 22-25 is the big signature event on the grounds of the Central Terminal.
Infinity Song is the featured headliner from New York City. Taylor said they are signed to Jay-Z's, ROC Nation. Bands and artists from Toronto, Atlanta, and Mississippi will also perform.
"We have a number of acts right here in Buffalo, Tiny to Dream, 14 Mafia, and others including Miserable Genius. You're going to see really great performances."
"You'll see art installations. You'll see our New Era cap tent, you'll see vendors village, you'll see a pull-up and pitch contest which is supporting local businesses," according to Taylor.
Beau Fleuve has its origin in the name of the Buffalo. And that's how we get here to meaning beautiful flowing river.
When it comes to the future, Taylor wants to see the concept expand.
