Experience Highwood Design Week | September 15–18

Design. Art. Creativity. Inspiration. Highwood.

Highwood Design Week returns September 15–18, celebrating the many ways design enriches the places we live, work, and gather. Discover exceptional interiors, innovative ideas, inspiring public art, and extraordinary local businesses through a curated series of experiences that showcase creativity, craftsmanship, and community.

The week begins with the Highwood Design Week Preview Party at Old Plank Antiques, welcoming one of Highwood's newest businesses and offering guests an exclusive opportunity to explore its beautifully curated showroom while setting the stage for four unforgettable evenings of creativity, discovery, and inspiration. Enjoy an evening of conversation, music, refreshments, and inspiration while receiving an exclusive Hotel Chocolat gift bag, created especially for Preview Party guests. Continue the journey at Ablaze Design Group, where award-winning designers will demonstrate how thoughtfully integrated lighting and smart-home technology can enhance comfort, wellness, and everyday living. Watch an identical room transform before your eyes as lighting shifts from warm candlelight to natural daylight, revealing how profoundly light influences the way we experience a space. At Carpets of Highwood, enjoy Whiskey, Vinyl & Textures, where exceptional flooring, fine whiskey, and carefully selected music come together for a uniquely immersive evening of design and discovery. The celebration culminates with a guided tour of Highwood's celebrated murals before gathering at The Merchant for a festive finale celebrating the creativity, collaboration, and community that define Highwood.

Whether your passion is architecture, interiors, art, technology, or simply discovering something new, Highwood Design Week invites you to see your surroundings and community through a fresh, inspiring lens.
