Highwood Evening Gourmet Market

Celebrate Highwood is proud to announce the return of its acclaimed Evening Gourmet Market, Wednesdays, June 7-August 30, from 4:30-9:30 PM (no market July 5). The season will kick-off with a special Events Park Dedication on June 7 at 6 PM. The public is invited to come together to commemorate the newly designed Everts Park and enjoy all park improvements including: a new playground, splash pad and rain garden, increased seating and an incredible new band shell (boasting the best in local entertainment around!).

This year marks the 15h season of the acclaimed Highwood Evening Gourmet Market and attendees can expect a variety of 60 incredible vendors alternating each week, and live entertainment for all ages. Additionally, after an overwhelmingly successful inaugural year, Celebrate Highwood is thrilled to announce the return of the Historical Highwood Cocktail Tour with Bruce “Buzzy” Bertucci, kicking off June 7, from 7-9 PM, and continuing every week throughout the season.

“It doesn’t get much better than a Wednesday evening in Highwood,” says Eric Falberg, President of Celebrate Highwood and Highwood Alderman. “It’s always special to be in Highwood on a Wednesday amongst friends and family. With the newly remodeled park, unbelievable vendors, top-notch entertainment, and historical cocktail tour, Wednesday nights in Highwood are THE place to be all summer long!” There will also be two theme nights to look forward to, with Margarita night on July 19, and Garlic Fest on August 16.

Encouraging the community to “make a night of it,” Highwood’s Evening Gourmet Market showcases a wide range of local produce, gourmet snacks, homemade breads and pastries, an array of ethnic delicacies and local artisan wares. Guests are able to enjoy dinner and cocktails while exploring the market, catching up with friends, and listening to different live music acts each week.
