    "Exceptional festivals are always held downtown Buford by BCSS. Our Buford community center always has concerts for adults as well as other events. It’s always a sensational location to get cardio in. Our community is accommodated with a splash pad for the littles. I would love to see more for kids though— A small fair perhaps? Bouncy house event? Egg hunt during easter? An addition of swings and a slide would not be terrible. Other than that, beautiful and safe community everyone is kind and caring. "
