On August 20 at River Fest Park in Buffalo, Buffalo Music Coalition will bring the Summer of Love from 1967 all the way to 2022 with “Summer of Love ’22 – A Buffalo Salute to the Monterey Pop Festival.”
Comprised of a group of music lovers and musicians, The Buffalo Music Coalition was organized in 2018 to produce unique shows they thought the public would like to see. Starting with East Aurora Music Festival, the following year they organized a Woodstock Celebration in 2019 at River Fest Park with local musicians from across the Buffalo area, with more than 1500 fans in attendance. Then in February 2022, the Coalition held “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” at Sportsmen’s Tavern, highlighting some of Buffalo’s best female performers.
For 2022, a celebration of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival is on the table, once again held at River Fest Park with performances from local musicians, including some who took part in the Woodstock celebration, and plenty of new faces.
At River Fest park, there will be food trucks and vendors contributing to the fun, which kicks off at 4pm on Saturday, August 20 and runs until 11pm. This is a rain or shine event. Bring a lawn chair but no outside food or drink are allowed in the venue. Pick up your tickets here.
