| Thursday at the Square |
A free public concert series that features local, national and regional music acts.
Candlebox: Modern rock icons, Candlebox, will be staging up Lafayette Square this week. Their self-titled debut album went platinum four times and the hit Far Behind reached the pop Top 20 Chart. This band has come a far way from the grunge scene in Seattle to playing the main stage at Woodstock 94 to opening for the legends of Aerosmith. While performing cuts from their new album, Into the Sun, the sun will be shining this Thursday as we celebrate the end of August in good fashion! Come check out Candlebox as the rock out in Downtown Buffalo during a performance, which is sure to get you wishing it was 1994 again |

| Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff: Standard Tours |
| Graycliff - the summer residence of Darwin and Isabelle Martin - can be found in nearby Derby, a short drive south of Buffalo. Situated on a 70 foot cliff overlooking Lake Erie, the two-story, 6,500 square foot house represents a transitional point from Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style to his later concrete designs that found their ultimate expression at the justly-famous Fallingwater. Elements from both periods are evident in the design of the house. Now undergoing extensive restoration, Graycliff is open to visitors. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and feel free to ask questions. In 2008, Graycliff is participating in the Field Trip Fund through the Buffalo Alliance for Education, which covers the cost of buses for schools. |
