WHAT IS PRIDE IN THE PARK?
Pride in the Park is Highwood's celebration of love, community, and the beautiful diversity that makes this city one of a kind. Happening as a special theme night during the Evening Gourmet Market, it's a free, family-friendly evening packed with food, art, live music, and good people — all in the heart of Everts Park.
Come as you are. Bring everyone you love.
🎵 DJ Versage, sponsored by Giggles Play
Highwood's own DJ Versage is on the decks all night — high energy, all hits, the whole family welcome.
Paint your piece of the puzzle. Literally. Each attendee adds to a collaborative mural that becomes next year's official Pride in the Park poster.
🪨 Pride Rocks Garden
Hosted by North Shore Civic Club — paint a custom rock that gets displayed right here in the community.
💛 Friendship Bracelets & Rainbow Tattoos
Hosted by Yelp Chicago Suburbs, plus pride-themed giveaways all night.
🧩 Giant Yard Games
