Chicago's Red Hot, Rockin, Swamp Boogie Blues Band ROCKS Wisconsin!!!

Celebrate Highwood will transform its Downtown into Nashville’s Honky Tonk Row for the 5th Annual Nashwood (Nashville+Highwood) Music Fest. Attendees of all ages are encouraged to don their cowboy boots and hats over Labor Day Weekend, September 2-4, for three days of FREE live country, bluegrass, blues, and Southern rock music, as well as Southern-inspired food and drink specials.

The sounds of Nashville will permeate the air as music lovers stroll the streets of Downtown Highwood enjoying over 100 FREE performances throughout 25 venues including 10 outdoor performance spaces, all within a 48-hour time frame. There are no cover charges, but in true Nashville style, tips are always welcome to support the musicians!

Main Street is closed from 4 pm until 11 pm, and filled with residents enjoying live bands while gathering groceries for the Wauconda/Island Lake Food Pantry. 2022 Headliner is Kevin Purcell & The Nightburners.
