Welcome to Buffalo's newest up & coming Country Music Festival. Flannel Fest Buffalo was founded by Steve Glica and business partner Brandon Smith. With a great deal of passion for Country Music, it was a no brainer for Steve & Brandon to pursue this next chapter. Not to mention the fact, who doesn’t love wearing Flannels & country music?! Tying it all into one great event was an easy choice. The 1st annual Flannel Fest Buffalo was held in 2023 at The Cove featuring Heath Sanders, TracieLynn, Eric Van Houten, & Guy Bunch.

Country Music has been steadily the most popular genre in the Western New York region for the past decade, & only continues to grow. With just one other Country Music Festival in Buffalo in early summer, Flannel Fest brings Buffalonians more of what they are seeking. We offer an opportunity for country fans to see more upcoming names that don’t usually get the chance to make their way up North, specifically the Western New York & surrounding regions.

As we continue to climb, fans can expect more upcoming names, including some of Nashville’s premier stars. Rolling into year 2, we are looking ahead to launch multiple days of Flannel Fest in the near future to keep adding to the list of fun festivities and the most talented Nashville acts.

Giving Back Bonus: Last year the Flannel Fest Buffalo members teamed up with the Live Like Luca foundation to raise awareness for a good cause supporting a local charity donating a total of $12,044.00

The 2nd annual Flannel Fest beneficiary is the Staff Sergeant Billy Wilson Foundation, whose mission is to enhance the lives of the youth, service members, and their families.
