Buffalo Homecoming is evolving and taking things to the next level. This year we are not only inviting new and expatriated Buffalonians to come to visit, we’re throwing a citywide party to welcome them. We’re calling this new initiative “Citybration.”

Citybration is a weekend to take stock in who we are as a City. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect on where we’ve been, report on progress to-date, and project our visions of the future. It’s a chance to recognize the hundreds of Buffalonians, working as individuals and with dozens of advocacy groups, who have helped in some way to make our city better.
It’s an opportunity to showcase all of our natural and cultural treasures.
It’s a time to boast. Buffalo’s day in the sun is long overdue. It’s high time to shout to the world what an amazing place Buffalo is to live, work, play and invest.

And it’s a weekend to do one of the things that Buffalonians do best. Throw a party.

The four-day celebration includes a career fair, the Buffalo Ambassador Awards luncheon, cultural open houses, tours, a parade, a conference/symposium, and a city full of stores, restaurants, organizations and neighborhoods that have found fun and innovative ways to participate. And the fun will extend across the Buffalo Niagara region with the launch this year of Niagara Homecoming!
