🎄 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I am thrilled to announce the upcoming 2024 Buford Holiday Festival and Parade! Mark your calendars for December 7th, from 9 AM to 4 PM, for a day filled with festive fun and community spirit. 🎉 Our festivities will kick off with our beloved Christmas parade, a true highlight of the season. This year, our parade features a fantastic lineup, starting with our talented marching band 🎺, followed by our beautiful beauty contest winners 👑, proud local business owners 🏢, energetic dance teams 💃, and, of course, the one and only Santa Claus 🎅! The parade will begin at Tannery Row and make its way to Hill Street, spreading holiday cheer along the route. After the parade, everyone is invited to join us at the festival for a host of fun activities, delicious food, and festive entertainment for all ages. 🎊 Our festival will showcase a variety of artisan craft vendors 🎨, service vendors 🛠️, local businesses 🏬, and more. We have a fantastic selection of food trucks offering a wide range of delicious food 🌯, bakery treats 🧁, and more. Our stage performers include amazing dance teams 💃, rock and roll bands 🎸, singers 🎤, and much more. This event truly grows bigger and better each year! For the kids, we have activities including bouncy houses 🏰, games 🎯, and a special visit from Santa Claus himself 🎅. He’ll be here to hear what you want for Christmas, and he might even ask if you’ve been naughty or nice! 😉 We are so happy that our community supports this event and our local businesses. These festivals help us give back to the community, providing support to non-profits and scholarships to Buford High School students 🎓.
