Summer Fun with the Chamber: Join Our Action-Packed Lineup!


When the Chamber started planning the Chamber's summer events, the Board imagined that we'd have one or two get-togethers, but then the overzealous Executive Director got carried away! Why not add 5 more summer events above and beyond the anticipated quarterly Breakfast before Business? And so I (read "we") invite you to join us for one, two, or all of these exciting events - we can't wait to share the fun with you!

Don't miss your chance to win amazing prizes at this Sunday's Bingo event in Highwood! Enjoy an electrifying atmosphere filled with excitement and friendly competition as you play for a chance to win incredible prizes donated by popular local businesses. Gather your friends and family for an action-packed afternoon where every game brings you closer to fantastic rewards. Hurry, secure your spot now for an unforgettable Sunday experience!

Embark on a sustainable shopping adventure at our upcoming "Junk in the Trunk" (a flea market style) event! Support local vendors and explore a diverse selection of unique and one-of-a-kind items. If you have pre-loved treasures to sell, join our lively community of vendors and transform your gently used goods into extra cash. If you're looking for that certain something, don't miss this opportunity to discover the perfect addition to your collection.

Celebrate the Joy of Dogs at Highwood's First Annual Dogs' Day Out!


Join us on Sunday, August 11 from 3-5 PM at Billy Bricks in Highwood for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating our furry friends while supporting Orphans of the Storm, Heartland Animal Shelter, and K-9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore. Indulge in special treats and eats from Billy Bricks, with 20% of the proceeds benefiting these incredible charities. Take photos at our dog photo booth, receive expert advice from our "Ask A Vet" station, participate in contests, talk shop with dog-related vendors, meet adorable, adoptable dogs and donate needed items to the shelters (a list will be posted on the Highwood Chamber website shortly). Together, let's make Highwood's First Annual Dogs' Day Out a memorable and meaningful celebration of our beloved canine companions!


Please note that all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and kept on a non-retractable leash. Owners are solely responsible for supervising their dogs and assessing their pet's suitability for the event. Reactive dogs are not permitted.

Come celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Lenny "Buffo" Innocenzi to Highwood's community and culinary scene. Witness the installation of his well-deserved honorary street sign, followed by a gathering at Buffo's Restaurant, where delicious pizza awaits. Don't miss this special event to pay tribute to a local treasure who has made a lasting impact on our town for almost 50 years!
