Buffalo YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) Festival!
Buffalo YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) festival celebrates and supports the vital grassroots efforts, and the people that make them happen throughout the Buffalo Niagara area.
This year’s festival is called “BUFFALO: BLOCK BY BLOCK” and it will provide a platform for people and groups involved in grassroots, locally-driven community development to gather, exchange ideas and establish the networks that will help build a better Buffalo. It’s a chance to spread the word about your work, celebrate achievements and identify new challenges and opportunities in an atmosphere focused on listening, learning and engaging.
YIMBY aims to bring Block Clubs, Community Groups, Grass Roots Organizations, and individuals throughout Buffalo under one roof to get to know each other, to share success stories and challenges, and to learn more about hands-on, simple actions to make our city better, one block at a time. There will be plenty of opportunities for tabling, presenting, brainstorming, workshops, performances, and we are open to hearing other ideas folks may have.
