M&T Bank Plaza Event Series 2011
Location
For 42 years, M&T Bank’s Plaza Event Series began on June 6, 2011 and will continue to offer a diverse line up of music, acting, dancing, and more until August 26, 2011.
This year, the stage has moved to the north side of the plaza to accommodate construction that is part of M&T’s multimillion dollar investment to renovate the exterior of One M&T Plaza.
The Plaza Event Series is free and held daily from noon to 1 pm. With a 12-week schedule, the series is the longest running, corporate-sponsored event of its kind in the United States.
Each week will feature various emcees from media outlets and performers with plenty of options to please the whole family. Join in the fun at this lunchtime Downtown tradition!
