Celebrate Highwood’s Business Community at

our Annual Dinner + Business Celebration


Join the Highwood Chamber at our Annual Dinner and Business Celebration on Monday, February 3. This special night will honor the spirit and strength of our exceptional business community, highlighting the owner-operated businesses and community members whose remarkable contributions make Highwood truly one of a kind.


With its warm and inviting ambiance paired with the most delicious food, the Bocce Club hosts our Annual Dinner—an event you won't want to miss! The evening will celebrate the Chamber’s milestones from the past year, showcase our collective progress, and reveal exciting plans for the year ahead.


We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Dinner & Business Celebration, where we honor our incredible community and share exciting plans for the future. Highwood is a city of resilience and legacy, home to cherished institutions including Del Rio, Alex’s Washington Gardens, The Viti Companies, Nite n’ Gale, Pastificio!, The Bocce Club, Poeta’s, and Skokie Valley Laundry—all businesses that have shaped our story for generations.


What gives these businesses their staying power? Emmy award-winning storyteller Mike Leonard, alongside his executive producer Mary Kay Wall, has explored this question. Through months of filming and interviews, they’ve uncovered the heart of Highwood’s multi-generational businesses. Their work captures the spirit of our city—a story you won’t want to miss!


Thank you to our generous sponsors who made this event possible: Bank of Highwood–Fort Sheridan, Moyer Properties, Ablaze Design Group, Sunset Foods, Symonds Funeral Home, Rose Pest Solutions, Mada Hitchmough of The Shore Group with Compass, and Pasquesi Plumbing.
