The Highland Business Association shared to Facebook that they will be canceling Highland Fest this year. 

According to the post, the increase in costs, staffing, operational concerns, and "alignment with mission" were reasons for the cancelation.

"We look forward to continuing our role of supporting and advocating for our member businesses and continuing to foster the relationship between businesses and residents in the Highland Park community," the post reads, in part.

For more than 35 years, Highland Fest has grown from an art fair to a three-day event.
