Highlands Council produces three signature events a year: Volunteer Appreciation, Highlands Day, and Green Halloween.
In order to bring a variety of events and activities to Issaquah Highlands, Highlands Council often partners with local groups and organizations to bring these and many other events to the Highlands. Partnership often includes sponsorship funding from local businesses, in-kind donations, and sometimes staff support. Assessment fees do not fund community events, or the Highlands Council.
Below is a list of annual events, but there are many other events and activities throughout the year. Watch for news updates and check out the community calendar to learn about those events. Only events that say "produced by Highlands Council," are produced by the Highlands Council. All other events are produced by other organizations.

Volunteer Appreciation - April (Event produced by the Highlands Council)
Our community would not be what it is without the many volunteers that are committed to working on our events, clubs, committees, governance, and much more. Once a year, we invite all our volunteers to an appreciation party. This is our chance to recognize accomplishments, honor individuals, and say "thank you!" One deserving person is also awarded the Volunteer of the Year award at this fun celebration. |
