Buffalo Citybration is a three-day event that showcases Buffalo's assets, highlights opportunity and celebrates the city's many successes. Citybration aims to help keep our best and brightest here, to bring back those who have left, and to attract entrepreneurs and professionals to help grow our community and our economy. It accomplishes this by partnering with the business community, our arts and cultural organizations, our many excellent schools, our sports teams, civic and grassroots organizations, government and development agencies, veteran's groups, and more. Citybration proactively addresses the retention and attraction problems that have led to ongoing population losses in true Buffalo form – by throwing a party!
