BUFFALO, N.Y. – UB on the Green, the University at Buffalo’s free outdoor performance series, is back for a 10th season to celebrate summer in the South Campus neighborhood.

The family-friendly, alcohol-free events, presented by the UB Office of Community Relations, will take place Wednesdays July 20, July 27 and Aug. 3 from 6-8 p.m. on the Hayes Hall lawn on the South Campus. Free parking is available in the NFTA Park and Ride and Townsend lots. Spectators are encouraged to bring a picnic meal, lawn chairs and blankets. Light refreshments will be available for sale.

“It’s great to have UB on the Green back for another year,” said Tess Morrissey, UB director of community relations. “Each year the series provides fun opportunities to bring the campus and community together.”

In addition to musical performances, the series will focus each night’s events around a specific theme designed to welcome neighbors to the university and introduce them to different aspects of UB.
