​Art in the Park
Highland’s premier art event, Art in the Park is held at beautiful Lindendale Park, offering a tranquil setting for nearly 70 professional artists to display their works of fine art. While festival attendees shop for works of art in twelve categories, they can also explore various forms of culinary delight at food stands located within the park. Children, too, have the opportunity to shop at a special children’s gallery or even create their own works of art at the children’s outdoor studio.

Street Art Festival
 Artists “take to the streets” for this unique festival as they transform the streets around the downtown square into a temporary art gallery. Artists create colorful masterpieces using chalk as their medium. Visitors enjoy great food and street musicians as they watch the artwork come to life. Sponsored by the Highland Chamber of Commerce, the Street Art Fest is held the third Saturday in September. For more information visit www.highlandillinois.com/streetartfestival or on Facebook by clicking the link.
