Each year, the Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League kicks off the holiday season with our favorite free community tradition: Light Up the Highlands!

Join us for the Christmas tree countdown, local performances, pictures with Santa, and our popular local Christmas Market! Plus, thanks to our amazing sponsors, enjoy family favorites like the snow luge, ice skating, and a 360 photo booth.

Give Back While You Celebrate!

We’re partnering with NorthPark Presbyterian Church’s Reverse Food Truck to fight local hunger. Heading to the event? Bring non-perishable food items from your pantry to help feed our neighbors at the Vickery Meadow Food Pantry!

We are so grateful for your support—please consider donating to keep this beloved holiday tradition glowing!
