Curtain Up! Ellicott Street Celebration!

Start Your Curtain Up! Celebration Early with a Downtown Street Party!

Get ready for a night to remember! Join us for the inaugural Curtain Up! Ellicott Street Celebration!—the perfect way to kick off Buffalo’s biggest night of theater early, before the Main Street after-party festivities!

Starting at 7:30 PM in front of Tappo Restaurant, we’re closing and transforming Ellicott Street into a one-of-a-kind, open-air jazz street party. Prepare to be transported straight to the heart of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter as we feature a special New Orleans theme with the unstoppable sound of The Brass Machine!

Come early to enjoy special themed drinks and a unique menu designed for the occasion. The atmosphere will be electric, filled with the brass sounds of a New Orleans street party and the buzz of downtown excitement.

As the night unfolds, you’ll have a view of the fireworks show, set to go off at Sahlen’s Field that night, creating a spectacular backdrop to our celebration.

Presented by JazzBuffalo and ArtsBuffalo in partnership with Tappo Restaurant, this is your chance to start your Curtain Up! celebration early and in the most uniquely Buffalo way. So if you are not attending a theater production that night but want to get started early before the Main Street after-party, join us on Ellicott Street!

Curtain Up! Ellicott Street Celebration! Date: Friday, September 19 Time: 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM Location: In front of Tappo Restaurant, Ellicott Street
