Weekly events include the Saturday Farmers Market, and the Summer Concert series at Willow Park. Every year, for one weekend the Highlands is the place to be for the annual Cherokee Triangle Art Fair which draws artists from all over the Country.

The Highlands is home to several beautiful Parks including Tyler Park, Douglas Park, Willow Park, and Seneca Park, but the heart of the Highlands is Cherokee Park.

Cherokee Park also offers a golf course, playgrounds, recreation areas, mountain bike trails, and some of the best sledding in town!
