Anyone looking for a place to grab a cup of coffee with friends after a movie or a high school football game won’t be disappointed by locked doors and dark windows in downtown Highland Park on Friday and Saturday nights.

LATE NITE HP encourages downtown Highland Park restaurants and other businesses to stay open until late on Friday and Saturday nights, creating an appealing environment for dining, shopping, and socializing later in the evening.

LATE NITE HP will also create opportunities for local adult and student musicians and other artists to perform or sell their paintings, jewelry, pottery, and crafts in some of the participating businesses during LATE NITE hours. Click here for a schedule of entertainment.

Highland Park businesses interested in participating in LATE NITE HP may contact the City of Highland Park’s Office of Economic Development at (847) 926-1027. For further details regarding LATE NITE HP, or to obtain a list of participating merchants, call (847) 926-1043, or visit www.latenitehp.com.
