Port Clinton Art Festival / Taste of Highland Park

The Port Clinton Art Festival is one of the North Shore’s best festivals and features work by 260 juried artists. More than 1,400 artists from around the world apply for a spot and it keeps getting better every year.

I put this festival on my calendar simply because it is so diverse. I like the variety of arts and crafts and love running into old friends and neighbors.

In addition to the art festival, The Taste of Highland Park goes on concurrently with three of my favorite restaurants participating this year – Cafe Central (Carlos -5 Star Carlo's - and Debbie Nieto were minding the store which I thought was fantastic, Abigail’s and Lou Manati’s.

Here are some of the fun things you missed.

Bon Appetit!
