Highland Fest

Music has been terrible the last few years. Art/​vender section however has tripled and has a wide variety now which is why we still come back. Always fun to stop and Tiffanys after the fast to see some old friends too… But seriously, this festival used to have fantastic music…:(what happened the last 5 years?

Its fine. Its a nice distraction. I miss that the beer dabbler event is no longer associated with this, and the new rides area this year was almost entirely inflatables, and I find them to be gross. Especially on hot days — all the stink and sweat… horror. Its a great way to kill an afternoon, but expect to spend way more money than you’d like, especially if you have kids and end up in the rides area. Fireworks are decent.

Decent festival! I loved looking at the art stuff and the walk around Ford Parkway. Ton of available parking around the neighborhoods. There’s food and everything else. I really enjoyed the art area but all in all, I only spent an hour here. Gooood festival, not too big or small. I give it a B.

I’m glad we went later in the evening. There were a lot more places to park on the side streets. I guess they do have a shuttle bus if you don’t want to drive.
Nice little neighborhood festival set up along Ford Parkway. Booths, vendors and carnival fair type food.

–Food area had cheese curds, corn dogs, mini donuts– all the typical fair stuff. Big Mangoes on a stick.
Its a nice little neighborhood get together in St. Paul. Something do to.
