BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Chilly temps won't interrupt the flurry of activity happening in Buffalo this weekend.

The weekend kicks off Friday night, with the bash inside Statler City on Delaware Avenue.

Buffalo Winter Bash’s Drew Cerza said, “Right now you're in the Golden Ballroom, and this is going to be the classiest beer tent you've ever seen.”

Along with beer and wine tastings, there will also be chicken wings and live music. And no ice? No problem for hockey players.

The Labatt Blue hockey tournament moved to the streets around the Erie Basin Marina. More than 60 teams will compete throughout the weekend.

If you just want to enjoy fun outdoors, Winterfest will include a kids sculpture park and ice sculpture demonstration.
