November 19, 2022
9AM-11PM
1700 Main Street / Niagara Falls, NY
Everyone is invited to the "We Are the Community" Main Street Murals Celebration and Breakfast event to celebrate the new community murals installed on boarded up storefronts along Main Street in Niagara Falls. The Breakfast will take place on Saturday, November 19th, 9:00am-11:00am at 1700 Main Street in the lot between The Connection and the former Family Dollar building. Free hot breakfast, coffee and hot chocolate will be provided by Black House Beignet, Power City Eatery, Di Camillo Bakery, and Hyde Park Café. At 10:00am, the community is invited to join a group photo in front of the We Are the Community Mural at 1802 Main Street, one block north. The event is free and open to all. Please dress warmly as it will be an outdoor event on a cold day!
The Breakfast will celebrate the recent community mural making, encourage participation in discussions with one another around the future of Main Street and to bring people together with renewed energy. These murals bring new life to the street that was once a bustling and vibrant business district throughout the majority of the 20th Century and is fondly remembered as such. It boasted businesses during its years such as Silberberg’s, Jenss Bros, Lincoln’s, Buck's Shoes, the French Millinery Shoppe, the Royal Chef, and Hart to Hart Furniture to name a few. Many stories could be told of downtown shopping in an era long since passed.
These murals bring visibility to the past, present and future Main Street. What life did these buildings witness, how did they serve our community, and what could Main Street become in the future?
