Family Friendly, For Kids, Hobby, Things to Do

If there is one thing we love about Canalside, its the ability to enjoy downtown Buffalo year-round. From the ice rink in the winter months to pedal boating in the summer, Canalside is the epicenter for entertainment in Buffalo. With fall approaching, Buffalo Waterfront Management Group has announced the return of the outdoor roller rink at Canalside!

The opening night at the Roller Rink on August 12, 2022 will feature special guest P.U.S.H, celebrity skate instructor, from 6:00p.m. – 9:00p.m. alongside a DJ, games, and the opening of the Buffalo Holiday Market. This special event is made possible through the 716 Rollers.

New this year, The Buffalo Holiday Market will host approximately 20 vendors at the rink on a weekly basis. Vendors will line the canal area adjacent to the skating surface, showcasing the best of Buffalo’s crafts, goods, and specialty products. Vendors will be open every Friday 4:00p.m – 9:00p.m., Saturday 1:00p.m. – 9:00p.m. and Sunday 1:00p.m. – 6:00p.m.

Thanks to the generosity of the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of WNY, discounted or free skate passes will be made available to non-profit or educational organizations. Organizations interested in experiencing the rink as a group at a reduced admission price are encouraged to reach out to info@buffalowaterfront.com.
