The 7th Annual Crossroads Bluesfest to fight teenage homelessness, featuring some of Western New York’s hottest blues bands, will be held at a new location this year - Riverfest Park, located at 249 Ohio St., Buffalo, NY, 14204, along the Buffalo River. The event takes place on Saturday, June 8, 2019. Doors will open at 2:00 with the blues music beginning at 3:00. Legendary 97 Rock Blues Icon Anita West will play host to several rocking blues groups.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Plymouth Crossroads in Lancaster. Plymouth Crossroads is a 501(c)(3)  transitional housing shelter which provides a safe place to call home for abused, runaway and homeless young men ages 16-20. The program is designed to not only provide shelter for these young men, but to also help them get enrolled in school or a GED program and find local employment.  Plymouth also provides extensive case management and group meetings to teach important life skills that are essential to the residents’ success in society. Since its opening in 2011 it has helped over 150 boys to not fall under the statistic of becoming homeless.
