Event Description

After a challenging year, Celebrate Highwood is thrilled to announce it will be hosting a Kick-Off to Summer ‘Grads and Grease’ Carnival Thursday June 10th through Sunday June 13th in the Highwood Metra Station parking lot. Taking all COVID precautions, the community is invited to come out and mark the end of another crazy school year. Graduates of all ages from 2020 and 2021 are invited to celebrate their end of the year accomplishments with discounted unlimited ride wristbands. “The Grease theme seemed appropriate to recognize all of the graduates from 2020 and 2021 who have missed out on so much these past two end-of-school years,” says Brad Slavin, President Celebrate Highwood. “We are encouraging everyone to come out dressed in their favorite character from the movie Grease to share in the excitement.” Attendees dressed in Grease themed attire will also receive discounted unlimited ride wristbands. To add to the Grease theme Buffo's will be holding their Sheridan Road Cruz’n Nite car show on Saturday, June 12th from 5 p.m. to sundown along Sheridan Road. The carnival fun doesn’t stop there. Adults can enjoy specialty Grease Lighting drinks by Hangar 1 Vodka, beverage straws by M. Brad Slavin Farmer’s Insurance and beer from Ravinia Brewing Co.
