Amherst is a beautiful city outside of Buffalo, but like many of the other cities outside of Buffalo, the whole area thrives on the festivals that are held almost every weekend throughout the area. There is the Italian Fest, the Canal Fest, the Allen Town Art Fest, and the Taste of Buffalo, just to name a few.
Amherst holds many of the hotels to stay at to get to any of these many festivals. This area, as well as the many other areas of Buffalo, don't get the justice they deserve due to the reputation of the snow that is constantly sent our way.
