On Wednesday, July 3rd, the Western New York summer tradition returns to Sahlen Field with 28th installment of the KeyBank Independence Eve Celebration!
The evening will feature a Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra postgame concert following the Herd’s game that night against the Rochester Red Wings (6:05 p.m. first pitch). As is customary for this fan-favorite event, the BPO is combining stirring patriotic and military tributes with a collection of pop culture classics to give fans of all ages an amazing show before the ballpark’s Largest Fireworks Show of the Season. The postgame concert will include American Salute, God Bless America and the event’s signature piece, Armed Forces Salute, which features a ballpark recognition of the brave servicemen and women from each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces in attendance that night. At the end of the concert program, 1812 Overture and Stars and Stripes lead into another amazing Jfireworks show from Skylighters Fireworks of New York.
The pop culture additions to the show feature a wide variety of iconic numbers, some of which come on milestone anniversaries. Forty years after the debut of the music video, the BPO will perform Michael Jackson’s Thriller, accompanied by an on-field performance from the 716 Dance Lab from Lancaster. Also 40 years ago, baseball and movie fans saw The Natural for the first time, so the orchestra will play an arrangement of the iconic film shot right here in Buffalo.

Thursday & Main: Son of the Sun & A House Safe For Tigers
2024-07-11 17:00 - 20:00 | Fountain Plaza, 40 Fountain Plaza, Buffalo, NY, 14202, United States
Buffalo Place will produce the 8th Anniversary season of the free outdoor summer series, Thursday & Main, weekly from June 6th through August 1st (except July 4th), at Fountain Plaza in Downtown Buffalo. Thursday & Main is presented by M&T Bank. The series continues to pay homage to the venerable Buffalo Place-produced summer tradition, Thursday at the Square.
The free and open-to-the-public happy hour, presented on Thursday evenings at Fountain Plaza, Main Street south of Chippewa, continues the mission of Thursday at the Square: creating awareness and spin-off business for Downtown restaurants, bars, and retailers.
In 1987, Fountain Plaza hosted the first Thursday at the Park season, produced and managed by Buffalo Place. One year later, crowds became too large for the space. The series was shifted to Lafayette Square and renamed Thursday at the Square. In 2016, the new Buffalo Place produced series, renamed Thursday & Main, returned to Fountain Plaza.
Thursday & Main is made possible with the generous support of our official sponsor family. The series is presented by M&T Bank. Supporting Act Sponsors include: Crowley Webb, Big Ditch Brewing Company, The Buffalo News, Hyatt Regency Buffalo, Iroquois Construction Services, Katz Americas, Lawley Insurance, National Grid, Premium Parking, Try-It Distributing, and VanDette Law PLLC.
Visit our Facebook and Instagram​ pages for updates on the 2024 schedule!
The 2024 Thursday & Main Series Schedule is:
Thursday, July 11, 2024: Son of the Sun with special guest A House Safe For Tigers
Thursday, July 18, 2024: Willie Nile with special guest A Potter’s Field
Thursday, July 25, 2024: An Evening with Dwayne Gretzky
Thursday, August 1, 2024: Lowest of the Low with special guest Thee Isolators
On Thursday, July 11th, following the 4th of July holiday hiatus, Buffalo Place welcomes longtime friends, and Niagara Falls natives, Son of the Sun. The quintet is known for seamlessly blending psychedelic rock and harmonies with raucous guitars and soulful vocals. The band was a major player in the local music scene when they first formed in the late-aughts and performed often at Buffalo Place produced Thursday events. 2024 marks a reunion of sorts as the bandmates have pursued other passions as of late. The band will be re-releasing their catalog on streaming services in celebration of the reunion performance, and offering new original music. Opening the evening of performance is A House Safe For Tigers, featuring drummer for Son of the Sun, Brandon Delmont.
Guests will enjoy a rotating roster of local restaurants on site weekly. Bijou Grille, Fat Bob’s Smokehouse, and Jack Rabbit will be set up Fountain Plaza weekly with wonderful food items available for attendees to purchase and enjoy.
