About

To promote Buffalo’s love of reading through large public action.

The Invasion is a celebration of our city’s love of reading, our beautiful public spaces, and our spirit of community and gathering.

The idea is simple: People bring something to read and “invade” a large public space. This isn’t a book club; just a time to come together, to enjoy the act of reading, and to remind our fellow Buffalonians that reading is an essential element of the many of our lives.

So bring a book and bring a friend, and join us for an hour of reading, relaxing, and gathering in our most beautiful public spaces.
