BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â The cancellation of festival season last year meant the worldâs largest garden tour, Garden Walk Buffalo, had to postpone. We estimate at about 60 and 70 thousand people each year, Jim Charlier, Marketing Chair for Garden Walk Buffalo said.
Garden Walk Buffalo is planning to go ahead as scheduled for July 24th and 25th of 2021. Organizers believe the promotion of social distancing, and reducing the amount of gardens participating will help calm COVID-19 concerns. They do understand that adjustments may need to be made if the coronavirus situation in Western New York does not allow for an event of their size.
