Be a Part of Highland’s Most Colorful Day of the Year!

 

Street Art Fest returns Saturday, Sept. 20 (rain date: Sept. 21), transforming the Highland Square into a vibrant open-air gallery. Dozens of artists will turn the streets into masterpieces, while visitors enjoy art, live music, shopping, food, and fun kids’ activities.

Sponsorship puts your business front and center with a highly engaged local audience. It’s a powerful way to boost visibility, drive traffic, and show your support for the community – all in one day! 

 

If you haven’t sent in your sponsorship form yet, there’s still time to secure your spot and be part of this fantastic event!  We’ve got talented artists ready to create incredible chalk masterpieces - now we just need YOU to sponsor their spots. Your support puts your name right alongside the art and helps make this community celebration possible!
