TERRIFIC TOMATO CONTEST - Wednesday, August 26th, 2026
The summer growing season is underway and the Highwood Historical Society is again thrilled to hold its Annual Terrific Tomato Contest.

All residents of Highwood and all members of the Historical Society are eligible to submit their tomato to win the title of “Most Terrific Tomato in Town” and a cash prize of $100.00. Tomatoes will be weighed, calibrated, and judged at Celebrate Highwood’s GarlicFest on Wednesday, August 26th. We invite all gardeners of any age with any experience, to participate. It only takes one!

Join us as we celebrate the art of gardening in Highwood and add information to our ongoing Highwood Homes Project. Sign-up in person at any Highwood Wednesday Night Market in Everts park, via email: highwoodhistory@gmail.com, or via phone, 847-682-9039.
