The 3rd Annual Highlands Culinary Weekend, created by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, promises to be one of the highlights of the season in Highlands. Join us and enjoy our majestic mountain location, boundless activities, appealing accommodations, unique retail shops and extraordinary cuisine.
The weekend commences on Thursday evening with an Opening Reception Celebration at the Bascom, Highlands new and spectacular fine arts center.  Beginning at 7:00 pm, enjoy great music, a variety of wine tasting tables, and spectacular food prepared by the chefs of Highlands.
Throughout the weekend, Highlands’ area restaurants, accommodations and merchants will partner to present instructional culinary sessions, tastings, and an assortment of activities. In the evenings, various restaurants will host specialty dinners featuring classic menus, wine pairings and guest chefs. The “Sip & Stroll” with area shops and galleries returns and, this year, has been expanded to two-days and 20 participants!
I continue to be awed by the creativity, passion and effort that define the Highlands community.  The Culinary Weekend is a shining example of what we can successfully accomplish. We invite you to be a part of this grand affair.
