April is here which means we are *finally* at the point of year where we can see warmer days on the horizon and more ways to step out. From Easter festivities and spring craft shows, to live music and comedy, this month is jam-packed full of fun events happening around town. Without further ado, let’s get into Step Out Buffalo’s curated list of exciting events happening this April in WNY, as chosen by our editors.
