Pitching in to help neighbors is a hallmark of the season and this portion of the Southern Appalachians.

It’s easy to spread the gift of Christmas Joy – just visit the Giving Tree at Highlands Emergency Council.

There are plenty of options for hungry revelers as the Plateau settles in for holiday celebrations. 

Highlands’ Episcopal Church of the Incarnation will be serving up fabulous barbecue box lunches immediately following the Highlands Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 7. You can buy tickets now or at the parade.

For Highlands Food & Wine 2024, it was a potent blend of dishes to savor, spirits both sultry and subtle, and sensations to seduce and stagger.

Casa Amigos Bar & Grill, 3638 US Hwy 64 in Sapphire, is a quick ticket to fun and fine dining. For reservations or quick questions or take-out, call (828) 866-3144.

Bigger bottles, bigger pours, bigger fun – large-sized wine bottles make every occasion a celebration!
