'Enjoying the moment': Taste of Diversity celebrates Buffalo's cultural heritage

It wasn't the day organizers dreamed of, but the rain provided a beautiful backdrop for those who came out for the Taste of Diversity 2024.

"Just all about being together, doesn't matter how big, how small, just coming together for a common goal and just enjoying the moment and living in it," said Syidah Sabir, a dancer with Mahatammoho Collective.

The celebration brings together the flavors, traditions, and talents of our diverse community. Local vendors sold items like art, jewelry, spices, and plenty of food.

"We're definitely supporting the West Side, the heart of Buffalo. We're Buffalo strong, so it doesn't matter the weather, the date, the conditions, we're gonna be out here supporting one another," said Natasha Perkins, Co-Chair of the festival.
