Buffalo Central Terminal hosts Latin Night with La Cassandra and The Joey Gonzalez Collective

Buffalo Central Terminal’s Circle Thursdays series continues with Latin Night on Thursday, July 23, 2026. The free outdoor concert runs 5:00–8:00 p.m. in Memorial Circle at Buffalo Central Terminal and is open to all ages.

Headlining the evening is Dominican-American singer-songwriter La Cassandra, named an artist to watch by Billboard Latin. La Cassandra mixes Bolero, merengue, R&B, disco, jazz and Afro-Latin rhythms; her releases include the debut album Lágrimas and the more recent Gloria & Dolores.

Also performing is The Joey Gonzalez Collective, led by veteran musician, arranger and composer Joey Gonzalez. The ensemble blends traditional Latin influences with contemporary arrangements and emphasizes collaborative, danceable performances.

Circle Thursdays turns Memorial Circle into a pedestrian-friendly block party. Events typically feature live music from national and regional artists, food trucks and beverage vendors, family activities, dancing and outdoor gathering spaces celebrating Buffalo’s cultural diversity. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and plan for an outdoor evening beneath the historic terminal.

The Circle Thursdays series and the terminal’s free family-friendly programming are supported by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation. This item is based on a Buffalo Central Terminal press release (July 9, 2026).

Rachel Maddow sounds the alarm as Trump faces an attack he doesn’t grasp: ‘Not a drill!’



President Donald Trump has made America less safe by punching a hole in the nation's ability to defend against a certain kind of attack from Iran, MS NOW's Rachel Maddow warned on Monday, and they're already taking advantage.

Maddow opened by mentioning the devastating wildfires in Spokane, Washington, and a surprising way that Trump allowed Iran to sabotage efforts to fight them.

"We're watching those fires and those evacuations tonight after what has been a terrible day in Eastern Washington State," said Maddow. Worse still, "in seven different states today, local water systems now know they have been hacked into, in a mass cyberattack that is being attributed to Iran."

"You may recall that the Trump administration dismantled or radically scaled back cybersecurity capabilities within the federal government, including inexplicably firing the head of Cyber Command in the U.S. military," said Maddow. "Well, now, local water supplies again in seven states have been hacked into by what appears to have been a foreign adversary."

"This is not a drill!" said Maddow. "This is something that is happening right now and in real life."

Trump originally blamed the attack on Minnesota's Democratic governor, Maddow noted, but at this point "it is at least seven states. And so definitely, by definition, it is not Minnesota's fault."

The upshot, Maddow said, is that Trump has a "strange inability to process this kind of information, to even seemingly understand this kind of attack," and there's no way to know whether America "is even capable of mounting a defense and a response to this kind of attack, because of the way Trump deliberately degraded our cyber capabilities."
