The Highlands Anniversary Weekend
A special weekend of cozy charm, sparkling magic, and timeless memories.
Step into wonder at our winter market, where timeless charm and cozy ambiance come together to create a fun experience.
A Winter Market Full of Wonder
Every January, we take time to celebrate The Highlands — not just the year, but the people, stories, and traditions that have shaped this place over generations.
Anniversary Weekend brings together a winter market, local vendors, live music, seasonal treats, and a few classic Highlands traditions. It's an easy, come-and-go kind of weekend made for wandering, warming up by the fire, and embracing the nod to the earlier days.
Here is what's on the schedule:
- A Winter Market featuring local makers and small businesses
- Food, drinks, and tastings from Short's Brewing Company
- A Vintage Ski Race on the hill
- Fireworks to wrap up Saturday night
