St. Patrick's Day Celebration at KeyBank Center | Special concessions, activities, and important traffic information

Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at KeyBank Center as the Buffalo Sabres host the Vegas Golden Knights in a Saturday, March 15 matinee.

The celebration, sponsored by Tops Friendly Markets, will feature holiday-themed entertainment, giveaways and activities for Sabres fans of all ages.

Tickets are available here.

Traffic Information

Please be advised that there will be street closures beginning at 9 a.m. for the Old Neighborhood St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Streets affected include:

• South Park Avenue between Lee and Hamburg Streets
• Smith Street between South Park Avenue and Elk Street
• Elk Street between Smith Street and South Park Avenue.

If you’re traveling to KeyBank Center by way of the Skyway/Route 5, bypass the Ohio Street exit and instead take the 190 South exit to avoid road closures.

Michigan Avenue will be open in both directions during the parade, meaning travel to KeyBank Center from Exit 6 to Elm Street off the 190 North or South should be unaffected.

Sip in Style

Visit the Labatt Zone outside of Section 118 and get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit with some refreshing green beer!
