In Highlands, summer isn’t just a season, it’s a feeling. A rhythm. A celebration of everything that makes this mountain town so special.
Thanks to the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC, this summer promises to be more vibrant, more musical, and more memorable than ever.
From the first lively notes of Friday Night Live on Main Street to the surprise sounds of the Pop-Up Pipers echoing through town, Highlands will be alive with energy. Saturdays mean Saturdays on Pine at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park, an open-air concert series where cool mountain breezes and great music set the perfect scene.
And when the Fourth of July rolls around, Highlands will sparkle with a spectacular fireworks show that brings the whole community together under the stars.
But the Chamber’s efforts don’t stop with concerts and celebrations. Behind the scenes, they’re partnering with dozens of local nonprofits to keep the creative spirit of Highlands thriving. Grants and sponsorships this summer are supporting beloved events like The Bascom’s art programs, Highlands Chamber Music Festival, Porch Fest by the Center for Life Enrichment, Friends of Founders Park’s Low Country Boil, and so many more.
Whether you’re an art lover, a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for a new adventure, you’ll find it here.
From the Highlands Biological Foundation to the Highlands Motoring Festival, Mountain Theatre Company, and Mountaintop Rotary’s Arts and Crafts Shows, there’s something happening almost every weekend.
It’s all part of a bigger mission: strengthening the ties that bind the Highlands community together — while welcoming everyone who comes to experience it.
Get ready to make your summer unforgettable.
