How cool are our friends to the West? Columbus is hosting another awesome event that makes me think we should kidnap some of their residents and bring them to Buffalo.

Independents’ Day is coming together of creative people with active people to create super people who showcase their talents on the streets of the city on September 19th at noon. Come witness their public explosion of creative spirit.

We call it spirit too.

Chalk on the Walk

When festivals collide. The organizers of Via Colori crash into I.D.2009 with gusto. Look for artists creating large scale chalk masterpieces throughout the day.


Live Painting

The people from Frankinlinton Arts District show once again who the boss of murals is in town. Urban Scrawl packs its bags and heads downtown once again!


Gallery Style

Come down to the Modern Finance Building at the corner of Gay and High for a unique exhibition organized by the Couchfire Collective.

Find it at the Flea Market

Downtown Residents Association is taking their garage sale to the street for a flea market extravaganza. Come find what condo owners don’t have room for.

Other vendors will be there as well, serving up their culinary creations.

Dunk a Roller Girl and Watch ‘em Race

Stop by and take your best shot at dunking members of the Ohio Roller Girls. Don’t worry, they won’t skate after you once the tank is gone. After the dunking fun, catch zany races between your favorite roller derby league members!


Skylab and The Shelf

The kids on the block are the core of what this is all about. All day stop by 57 Gay St to see the performances and art that grow right from the the neighborhood.
