About the Allen West Festival:

The Festival is traditionally held on Allen Street from Elmwood to Wadsworth and Wadsworth Street from Allen to Hudson. The Festival is produced by The Allentown Association, Inc. and promotes local artists and craftspeople from throughout Western New York as well as Allentown Businesses. In recent years there have been over 150 participating artists, vendors, restaurants and local businesses!

This event is the largest fundraiser for the Allentown Association.  Proceeds help with the Association’s mission to promote historic preservation in the Allentown National Historic District as well as regionally and to benefit the Allentown neighborhood though community gardens/beautification, crime and safety awareness and to promote the year-round cultural attractions of the Historic District.
