Western New York golfers will have the perfect opportunity to kick off the 2026 season at the Golf Buffalo Expo: Cheers to the 2026 Season, taking place Saturday, March 14 from 3–6 pm at Pearl Street Grill & Brewery (76 Pearl Street, Buffalo).
Hosted by Golf Buffalo in partnership with Tap & Craft, the Golf Buffalo Expo is a lively, community-focused event that brings together golfers, local brands, and craft beverage producers under one roof. The event will take place across the third and fourth floors of the iconic downtown venue.
The expo will feature 20+ golf-related brands and vendors, showcasing everything from apparel and accessories to instruction, equipment, and golf experiences. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet local golf businesses, discover new products, and connect with the region’s passionate golf community ahead of the upcoming season.
Guests can also enjoy tastings from more than 10 craft beer and spirits brands, with each attendee receiving a commemorative tasting glass as part of the experience. The event will also host a Players Championship viewing party on Pearl Street’s large-screen TVs, creating the perfect backdrop for fans to enjoy one of golf’s most exciting tournaments while mingling with fellow enthusiasts.
