 One of the Greater Niagara Region’s most active preservation groups, the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, and the Dent Neurologic Institute are hosting a series of music events for the public this winter in a picturesque Delaware Park setting.

The not-for profit Olmsted Parks Conservancy has continued to play a major role for years in maintaining and preserving the boulevard and park system  (named after the late landscape architect, Federick Law Olmsted of Central Park fame) that has enriched the urban landscape in so many of Buffalo’s older neighbourhoods for more than a century.

The music events will take place in the Marcy Casino, a classic heritage building overlooking one of the ponds in Delaware Park and they are highlighted below in the following media release the Conservancy has shared with Niagara At Large.
