Committee explores 'Taste of the Heights' event for Sept. 28, 2026
Summary
Palos Heights Beautification Committee proposed a new event, 'Taste of the Heights,' for Sept. 28, 2026 with outdoor restaurant offerings, a sidewalk chalk contest, and site options including the city parking lot and Community & Palmer Park; members will check for date conflicts and develop logistics.
Chairman Jeff Key said the committee is exploring a new community festival titled "Taste of the Heights," proposed for Sept. 28, 2026, to showcase local restaurants and attract visitors.
Committee members discussed practical options for the event footprint — suggested locations included restaurants serving outside their establishments, the city parking lot, Community Park, and Palmer Park — and proposed activities such as a sidewalk chalk art contest. Mark Striepling and Veronica Avila volunteered to develop event ideas further, and Avila will check with Palos Park and Lake Katherine to avoid calendar conflicts. The timeline for confirmation and promotional venues (Farmers Market and the Classic Car Event) was noted but not finalized.
