By Carrie Boyle - Publisher, Macaroni Kid Buffalo Northtowns April 23, 2020

Birthday parades are all the rage during our current times!  I've loved seeing the outpouring of love to make sure that our special birthday boys and girls (or adults!) have the most memorable celebration possible under these social distancing conditions!

Some of our local business have unveiled some great 'extras' to give your celebrations that WOW factor and ensure all the joy and happiness for your special birthday someone!  Check out these stellar options to truly LEVEL UP your party!


The PARADE:  Let Brew Bus Buffalo lead your cavalcade of cars with their party bus!  Their decorated tour bus will not be missed as they start your parade with birthday music and loud speaker announcements providing a personalized birthday wish and they drive by in style!  The best part?  ALL of the proceeds are being donated to an 11 Day Power Play fundraiser supporting Roswell Park and Cancer Research!  Whether you just have the bus visit or you have a parade of cars ready to honk and yell as they cruise by; bring your celebration to the next level with Brew Bus Buffalo!

The ENTERTAINMENT:  I'm not sure anything makes kids squeal with excitement more than when their favorite character makes a guest appearance at their party!  Just because we can't have that special guest walk through the party doors, doesn't mean a magical princess can't be there as a birthday surprise!  Enchanting Birthdays - Princess & Superhero Parties of WNY is providing some amazing socially distant friendly and virtual opportunities to make your celebration magical and unforgettable!

Have you favorite princess join in your birthday parade with a drive by and sing-a-long.  Order a theme gift basket and have your favorite character deliver it contact-free to your front porch!  Or, use the power of social media to have a personalized virtual visit!  Chose from a pre-recorded video message, a live call, or host a virtual party!

The FOOD:  What's better for birthday fare than delicious cheesy goodness?  Even better, what beats celebrating in style with your own food truck?!  Imagine finishing off your parade with your special birthday meal delivered by The Cheesy Chick Food Truck!  Their food truck will come to you with food and drinks for 4 for $50, with of course the option to provide additional meals.  Cake & balloons can also be worked into your celebration package!  Grab a picture with your truck for the memory book and they will also sing your a birthday tune!  The Cheesy Chick also offers VEGAN and GLUTEN FREE (No CC) options as well to ensure all  your families needs can be met with this birthday delivery!

Currently they are booking these birthday drop offs through the month of May and they just needed to be booked via e-mail by May 15th!  Contact them today at cheesychickbuffalo@gmail.com or check out their website at www.thecheesychickbuffalo.com!

Also a big THANKS to The Cheesy Chick for providing meals to those on the front lines as well as food supplies to children in need!  Please support those helping to support our community during these trying times, and check out their curbside pick up option at the store front at 5385 Main Street Williamsville for your regular take out needs!
