Old Falls Street is promising a fun-filled, action-packed menu of special events this year from May through October highlighted by the Hard Rock Summer Concert Series every Saturday beginning July 7.
   
  Global Spectrum announced the season’s schedule last week during a preview day program under sunny skies outside of the Conference Center and it was all happening as the city gears up for Nik Wallenda’s daring walk across the falls on June 15th.
 
   The Hard Rock concert series begins on July 7 with The Guess Who (see more on this act elsewhere in this publication), followed by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra playing the music of the Grateful Dead on July 14th.  The rest of the lineup:  July 21, Sloan; July 28, Talas; Aug. 4, KC and the Sunshine Band; and Aug. 11, Finger Eleven.
   
 Some of the area’s finest opening acts will get each program under way as the Hard Rock, led by General Manager Dominic Verni, continues to pump excitement into the Old Falls Street summer season with its free concert series.
   
 There will also be a weekly showing of movies every Thursday during the Flicks on Old Falls run that turns the middle of the street into an outdoor movie theater.  First on tap is the John Travolta-Olivia Newton John classic Grease on July 7th.  Some of the other flicks during the run are Spider Man, The Muppets Take Manhattan, and Toy Story.
     
 The Fridays on Old Falls Street Concert Series, sponsored by Legends Bar & Grill, kicks off June 29 with USA Band.
   
   Bike tours, workouts, food, and live music everyday at noon are among the activities announced by Global Spectrum, the company that oversees the Old Falls Street program for the state under General Manager Ryan Coate.
