Where Buffalo Grove hosts use lighting
Buffalo Grove straddles the Cook and Lake County line, with Lake Cook Road, Arlington Heights Road and Dundee Road marking its main routes. The village is known for tidy subdivisions, Mike Rylko Community Park, Willow Stream Park and Buffalo Grove Golf Club, along with the annual Buffalo Grove Days festival around Labor Day. Buffalo Grove Days and the village’s parks give the community a lively late-summer rhythm.
Backyard tent parties

Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
