HAMBURG, N.Y. — BurgerFest returned to the streets of Hamburg this summer after being canceled the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 36th annual event took place on Saturday, July 16. The festival was held on Main Street and Buffalo Street, as well as in the Village of Hamburg municipal parking lot.
