The Highland Park IL Port Clinton Art Festival is Here August 28-29.  The Port Clinton Art Festival is definitely one of my favorite outdoor events that take place in Highland Park IL every year.  For its  27th year the Port Clinton Art Festival  will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m- 6p.m with over 250 artists displaying their unique fine art for sale in Port Clinton Square and along the sidewalks of downtown Highland Park.

Oil or water color paintings, Ceramics, Jewelry, glass pieces - whatever you may in have mind will sure to be displayed among the many artists who will have their work displayed for sale  in Highland Park this weekend.  The artists participating come in for this event from all over the country, many who return to Highland Park year after year for this event.  The Port Clinton Art Festival was founded and is produced by Highland Park's Amdur Productions and to my understanding was recently ranked the fifth best art show in the country.

For families with children be sure to look for the tent where your  kids can enjoy fun activities and let their artistic abilities explode.  Also make sure your kids stop by the car, donated by Fields Volvo of Highland Park, where they will be encouraged to paint on the actual car! What fun!!!

In addition to the Port Clinton Art Festival the fourth annual Taste of Highland Park will take place this weekend - beginning Friday evening through 6pm on Sunday. Participating local restaurants  will feature their delicious creations on Central Avenue between 1st and 2nd Street.  On a personal note, our dear friend Jeff Shapiro, who soon will be opening a new spot in Highland Park  Real Urban Barbacue, will be one of the participants at the Taste of Highland Park this weekend - stop by the Real Urban Barbecue booth for a mouth watering mini pulled pork sandwich. You'll be glad you did!

Don't miss this fun filled weekend event taking place in Highland Park IL this weekend.  Admission and parking is free.  I know I can't wait!!!

p.s When you are in town this weekend be sure to check out how our new Coldwell Banker office is coming along, on the corner of Laurel & Second Street, which is scheduled to open in late September.
