Pumpkin Fest
This past weekend Highwood celebrated its tenth annual Pumpkin Festival. It’s the biggest celebration of the year in Highwood—which says a lot for a town that has festivals for everything from garlic to country music to a bloody mary.

A Cafe in the Works
We are excited to officially announce that our first cafe will be in Highwood, IL opening in the spring of 2018.
