[00:00:00]Spring has officially sprung throughout Western New York and it's bursting with outdoor concerts, butterfly exhibits, and much more. Here's a look at what you can expect this weekend. Fly on over to the Buffalo Botanical Gardens for the butterfly experience. Step into the tropical orchard from Saturday through July 19th and see hundreds of live butterflies up close. And new this year is a butterfly release select Friday and Saturday mornings. Buffalo Porchfest is kicking off a summer of live music in our region. It's happening from 1 to 6 Saturday and it's packed with tons of local acts throughout [music] the Elmwood Village. Take a bite out of the Apple Blossom Festival in Newfane. At the Country Village you'll find live performances, vendors, and baked goodies. It's bringing extra sweetness to your Sunday from 10 to 4. I can hear the bells at Knox Farm State Park in East Aurora. The Love is [snorts] in Bloom Wedding Showcase is back Sunday from 11 to 3. Whether you're waiting on I do or deep in planning mode, everyone's invited to check out vendors, snag discounts, and try samples. We have all of this and more on our website wkbw.com.
