Main Event

Presented By

The ONE not to miss: the Main Event! We take to the streets of Highlands, block-party style, with over 30 chefs and dozens of wines, specialty cocktails and mocktail brands, coffees, ciders and toddies galore. And don’t forget to dress to impress–The Style Watch is looking for those feeling their ‘fit and will get a little reward for their best put-together. We’re pining for the 90s and are proud to welcome HFW 2025 headliners and multi-Grammy winner The Wallflowers with opening support by Nikki Lane.

  • Access to the ultimate oyster roast
  • Small plates featuring local and regional chefs
  • Enjoy a selection of wines, craft beer, and spirits
