Highland Park will ring in the most wonderful time of the year with its annual Holiday Lighting ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026. Held at Port Clinton Square from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the event serves as the city’s official kickoff to the winter season.

While specific programming and entertainment details will be released closer to the date, the celebration traditionally brings the community together for festive displays and holiday cheer. Attendees are encouraged to mark their calendars for this late-afternoon tradition in the heart of downtown.
