Buford
Scenic | Friendly | Artistic
A small-town feel, complete with a big city shopping and dining experience.
Browse Buford's downtown shops for a unique dining experience. Nostalgia fills the streets of downtown, where the turn-of-the-century buildings have taken on new lives as art galleries, studios, shops and restaurants.
In the restored Tannery Row, you will find a thriving collective of artists (Tannery Row Artist Colony), a restaurant and pub open to hosting large events (Tannery Row Ale House), and businesses that help the Gwinnett community grow! Tannery Row Artist Colony has a gallery and open studios showcasing their talents from woodworking, acrylic, pottery, stained glass, oil and much more.
Just minutes down the street, shoppers won't want to miss the Southeast's largest shopping destination, the Mall of Georgia, home to 225 stores and dozens of restaurants. A summer night is not complete without hotdogs and baseball while cheering on the Gwinnett Stripers (our Triple-A Affiliate to the Atlanta Braves), at the state-of-the-art Coolray Field, just minutes away from the Mall of Georgia.
