Mid February 2026

 February Events in Highwood: Spill Sessions, Bingo & Solus


We do not normally send mid-month updates, but February in Highwood is full of activity and we did not want you to miss these upcoming events.

From thoughtful conversation to community fun to internationally recognized art, there is something for everyone in the weeks ahead. We hope you will join us.

Spill Sessions

Wednesday, February 18 | 6 to 8 PM

Beermiscuous, 552 Sheridan Road, Highwood


Spill Sessions is our curated cultural series designed to bring thoughtful conversation into Highwood’s restaurants and bars. In recognition of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday month, Daniel Weinberg of the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop and Roxana Uskali of Heritage Auctions will lead an intimate conversation on how coins, letters, photographs, and everyday objects become powerful pieces of history.



This is a small-room experience designed for real questions and discovery. Bring a coin or two, or come empty-handed.


Tickets are forty dollars and include your first drink and lite bites provided by Arianna Hirsch, North Shore Chef. Seating is limited.

COMMUNITY VOICES

Being in that room (Annual Dinner + Business Celebration at the Bocce Club) with all of those emerging and legendary business owners, I felt part of such a creative, unique, and special town. I couldn't picture ourselves anywhere else. I'm thrilled that we've made Highwood the place where we are building our home, business, and beautiful friendships.
