With hopes of waning pandemic concerns, the Highlands Business Partnership plans for a nearly full event calendar in 2021. Events such as the annual Clamfest, Twin Lights Bike Ride (in cooperation with Bike New York), and Oktoberfest are all planned to take place this year. Absent will be the St. Patrick's Day Parade which normally takes place in March. However, a Guinness Run is scheduled for March 6.
Despite improvements in Covid-19 cases, everyone should follow safety precautions including wearing face masks and social distancing as well as receiving vaccination at the earliest opportunity. Stay tuned for more information.
The late winter is certainly not a sleepy time in Highlands, New Jersey. In fact, the run up to the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of the liveliest times of the year. Events for 2020 include the Chili Cook Off on February 23 at the Proving Ground. Enjoy a chili tasting and competition as well as beer from the Proving Ground on Shrewsbury Avenue. In fact, it's an easy walk from The Beach House . The annual Guinness Run will take place on March 7. Enjoy a race around town while balancing a filled glass followed by post race party with our neighbors at Off the Hook. They day isn't over after the race though and includes a post run pub crawl into the evening. The highlight of the season is the St. Patrick's Day parade which will take place on March 21. This event is free to attend and draws visitors from near and far. It's a fun day for the entire family. We look forward to seeing you this season as we say goodbye to winter and welcome spring and another...
