This former harbour was the first major Buffalo waterfront area to be completely transformed from ugly parking lots into a public space that now offers bike trails, restaurants, green space and the perfect outdoor venue for concerts and festivals.Īt night, Canalside is also the perfect vantage point to watch a brilliant light show across the water: a long set of silos known as the Connecting Terminal becomes the canvas for a spectacular display that runs on a continuous loop from dusk until 11pm or so. When dark falls, if you haven’t been impressed enough with what Buffalo has done with its silos at RiverWorks, head over to the ‘Central Wharf’ at Canalside. Visit the RiverWorks website for more information on events.

Summer means outdoor concerts will be coming to the RiverWorks stage, too, making this venue a major player on the local concert scene. (Just don’t expect a Labatt’s beer, despite the exterior decor – RiverWorks’ beers are all brewed right here in the silos in small batches that stay true to their craft name.)Īttached to the Ward restaurant is another massive complex that houses an indoor rope course and a covered rink that in the summer is used for summer sports and sometimes houses a craft market. Visitors can step right up to the base of one of these silos and order a cold beer at the Silo Bar. More than just an icon, though, this oversized 6-pack of beer now actually houses beer in the form of the RiverWorks Brewing Company, the world’s first craft brewing company to actually be built inside repurposed silos. The giant ‘6-Pack’ instantly created a visual icon in Buffalo, anchoring this new development and becoming a playful centrepiece for RiverWorks. Verse 1: Twisted Insane Sit down, let me talk to you, kids I'mma tell you all a story It might get a little gory But I promise you that it will not be boring Under your bed at night there's really monsters I'm telling you this because I've really seen them They're scary, and hairy, and Eat up the kids with big ol teeth And so You better be. They began by painting a group of 6 silos to look like giant Labatt Blue beer cans.
The developers wanted to keep the authenticity of the area, which meant finding creative ways to repurpose the existing silos.
Local private sector entrepreneur Earl Ketry spearheaded the RiverWorks project, working with other partners to turn this Buffalo waterfront space into a massive 4-season sports, event and entertainment district, with a roller derby track, ice rink, restaurants, a concert venue and more.
