In the best interest of guests, visitors, participants and event partners, Erie County has postponed \u201c716 Celebrates: Stars, Stripes & Signers,\u201d originally scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 2, on Buffalo\u2019s waterfront.<\/p>\n
The decision was made due to the forecasted weather conditions and the likelihood of severe weather, including thunderstorms and the possibility of flash flooding.<\/p>\n
The free community celebration commemorating America\u2019s 250th anniversary will instead take place during Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n
Planning is already underway with event organizers, participating organizations, performers and community partners to build out the rescheduled program over two days, on Saturday, and Sunday, Sept. 5-6. Additional information, including the schedule and event details, will be announced in the near future.<\/p>\n
\u201c716 Celebrates: Stars, Stripes & Signers\u201d is presented by Erie County, the Erie County Historical Commission, and the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park.
