Buffalo is embracing Italian Heritage Month, honoring the vibrant traditions and lasting impact of Italian Americans across the region.

The celebrations began with a moving Italian Mass and wreath-laying at St. Anthony’s of Padua, kicking off a series of cultural events meant to unite and inspire the community.

Residents are eagerly anticipating the Italian Heritage Parade on October 18, which will fill Delaware and Hertel avenues with colorful floats, live music, and regional pride starting at 1 p.m.

The Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo is hosting family-friendly activities like the “Spooktacular Serata con la Famiglia” on October 17, plus hands-on cooking classes, engaging lectures, and lively concerts throughout the month.

Justice Frank Caruso underlines the importance of preserving these cherished customs and fostering unity within Buffalo’s diverse community.

The Buffalo Bills head into their bye week amid uncertainty after back-to-back losses exposed serious flaws on both sides of the ball.

Quarterback Josh Allen’s turnovers and the offense’s inconsistency plagued a 24-14 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons, where four three-and-outs limited their chances to recover late in the game.

Running back James Cook saw limited touches, which raised questions given the team's need for more playmaking options, especially as Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson ran rampant against Buffalo’s defense.

The offensive line struggled substantially, allowing significant pressure on Allen, while the defense was unable to stifle the run or defend deep passes.

Head coach Sean McDermott stressed the urgency for a complete reset as both offense and defense seek answers.

Despite recent setbacks, the Bills are focused on regrouping to avoid a losing streak not seen since Allen’s rookie year and revive their early-season dominance.
