Mayor Byron W. Brown
Mayor Byron W. Brown is pleased to announce the start of Black History Month at the historic Broadway Market in Buffalo. Every Saturday in February, beginning Saturday, February 3rd, over two dozen Black owned retail businesses will set up booths at the market, selling everything from handcrafted jewelry and clothes to cupcakes and flowers.
Mayor Brown said, “As we celebrate Black History Month, let us honor the legacy of resilience and entrepreneurship within our community by supporting black-owned businesses at The Broadway Market. Their success is our success, and by uplifting these businesses, we enrich the entire fabric of our city.”
Once again, the City of Buffalo and the Broadway Market are teaming up with the Buffalo Bills Foundation. Shoppers will receive a $25 gift certificate every time they make a $10 purchase with a participating retail vendor at the market on Saturdays in February. The certificates will be good through Saturday, February 24th, the final Saturday of the month.
