Art in the Park > Why Attend? Highland, Illinois is a unique blend of rural farming and the entrepreneurial spirit. It is a town proud of its Swiss heritage and dedicated to maintaining its hometown atmosphere. Located just 35 miles from St. Louis, Highland’s Lindendale Park is the ideal weekend haven... a place to take shelter from the feverish pace of everyday life, where you are surrounded by trees, not buildings. The vibrant colors of Autumn provide the perfect canvas to paint a relaxing weekend filled with delicious food and demonstrations, exciting entertainment, wine tasting and loads of fun and creative activities for kids of all ages. Lindendale Park is also a tranquil setting for 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 Art in the Park. Highland offers a convenient and rewarding escape from city living. We invite you to join us for our Annual Art in the Park event! Sounds like a great Autumn weekend of art, food, music and fun for the whole family, doesn't it? To see what we have planned for Art in the Park, see our Schedule of Events.
