Welcome to Broadway-Fillmore Alive! Our mission is to work together with community
groups, businesses, residents, churches and other organizations to help

So you think you can make kielbasa? Maybe you even think that your kielbasa is the Best in Buffalo. Here’s your chance to prove it. Adam Mickiewicz Library & Dramatic Circle (Mickey’s) and Tornspace Theatre are revitalizing “Buffalo’s Best Kielbasa Contest” on Dyngus Day, April 9, 2012 at noon. This way you can start your Dyngus Day celebration early in Polonia at Buffalo’s Most Authentic and Original Dyngus Day Celebration.
This Contest will converge Dyngus Day revelers, polish beer connoisseurs, and polish sausage lovers into the Heart of Polonia to determine Buffalo’s Best Kielbasa. The sponsor of this event is Fillmore District Council Member David A. Franczyk and he is looking for the best kielbasa-makers in the area.
The winner of this year’s contest will receive a basket of Polish Cheer and best of all, the honor of being designated Buffalo’s Best Homemade and Commercial Kielbasa and People’s Choice Winner. The contest will be held at the Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle, 612 Fillmore Ave, Buffalo, NY from Noon- 3pm.
During the contest, Polish Beer Tasting will be conducted at the bar with the unique brands of Polish Beer we feature throughout the year. Tastings will be offered (3 for $1 or 6 for $2) and you can certainly buy a bottle to enjoy. Authentic Polish food will also be available.
Anyone who wishes to participate in the kielbasa contest must register in advance by completing a registration form. Any questions can be emailed to Aniela Thant at buffalobestkielbasa@gmail.com, or by calling 716-479-2342.
Admission to the contest is $10. Admission includes a ballot to vote for the People’s Choice Contest, one draft beer, a commemorative cup for beer tasting, and admission to evening activities at Mickey’s beginning at 5pm.

Between the Broadway Market, all the churches and Dyngus Day, there is no other time during the year that attracts more people to B-F than Easter time. It all comes to head tomorrow with Dyngus Day.
All the info you could ever want about WNY’s and BF’s Dyngus Day Celebrations can be found here.
Corpus Christi Church will host its 4th Annual Rosary Procession on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Thursday, October 7, at 7:00 p.m. The procession will begin at the church, located at 199 Clark Street in Buffalo.
Participants will walk with lighted candles in hand through the streets immediately surrounding the church, while the rosary is recited in various languages. The devotion will conclude at the foot of Mary’s statue across from the church entrance.
Devotion to the rosary is one of the most notable features of the Catholic faith. Pope John Paul II placed the rosary at the center of Christian spirituality and called it “among the finest and most praiseworthy traditions of Christian contemplations. All are invited to rediscover the efficacy of the prayer of the rosary for peace in the world and in families. A reception will follow in the Kolbe Center.
