Taste of Buffalo announces 2024 edition's participating restaurants

May 19—This year's Taste of Buffalo will play host to 44 area restaurants and food trucks and four wineries.

The 41st annual celebration of Buffalo's food scene will be held July 13 and 14 along Delaware Avenue and Niagara Square in downtown Buffalo.

This year's restaurants include a mix of classic American and ethnic cuisines that represent the diverse food culture for which Western New York is known. Of the 44 restaurants, 11 will be participating in the event for the first time. Additionally, 24 veteran restaurants will be offering new items — with the best new item chosen by festival goers!

There will also be three Rockstar Kitchen Pop-Ups featuring some of Buffalo's most prominent chefs, including two James Beard finalists selling their dishes.

"By bringing together people from every corner of our region and beyond to sample our delicious and diverse selection of local cuisine, the Taste of Buffalo perfectly showcases so much of what makes Buffalo special," said 2024 Taste of Buffalo Chair Tom Mahoney. "Between our new and returning restaurants, live music from local favorites, family-friendly activities, and a beautiful summer weekend in downtown Buffalo, there's something for everyone to enjoy at the Taste!"
