🦃 Thanksgiving Eve | Rec Room Buffalo
🦃 Thanksgiving Eve — Rec Room Buffalo
A Snowy Night, 1,000 People, One EPIC Vibe
Thanksgiving Eve delivered exactly what Buffalo needed — a massive celebration downtown at Rec Room Buffalo, where the energy was unstoppable from the moment doors opened. Even with snow coming down hard outside, the line wrapped down the block as over 1,000 party-ready Buffalonians packed into the venue for what’s known as the biggest party night of the year.
Inside, the vibe was electric.
DJ Biacco lit the room up with heaters, remixes, and high-energy club tracks — and then the music went next level as John Troy jumped in on sax, creating a live hybrid set:
🎷 + 🔥 beats = absolute chaos in the best way.
Every drop hit harder.
Every solo cut through the room.
Every moment felt like Buffalo showing up loud, proud, and ready for the holiday.
From club anthems to funky riffs, sax lines soared over the crowd as hands went up, drinks clinked, and the dance floor never stopped moving. People came to party — and they got a full-throttle celebration.
This wasn’t just another night — it was a full-scale Thanksgiving Eve takeover.
Snow outside.
Heat inside.
A packed Rec Room.
DJ Biacco.
John Troy on sax.
Buffalo energy at full tilt.
Thanksgiving Eve 2025: Legendary.
And the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend.
