Highland, IN – Drivers in Highland should expect detours this afternoon as Highway Avenue closes for several hours for local fall festivities.
According to the Highland Police Department, Highway Avenue between Kennedy Avenue and 5th Street will be closed from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. today for the Downtown Restaurant Crawl and Trunk or Treat events. The closure will impact traffic through the downtown area, and motorists are urged to plan alternate routes.
The temporary shutdown supports two popular community gatherings that bring families and visitors to Highland’s downtown core for food, music, and Halloween-themed fun. Officials say the events aim to boost local businesses while offering a safe, walkable environment for trick-or-treating and dining.
Drivers should expect heavier traffic near side streets and limited parking availability throughout the evening. Police will be directing traffic in the area to maintain pedestrian safety and ensure smooth flow around the closure zone.
Residents attending the events are encouraged to arrive early and use designated parking areas near Kennedy Avenue or Main Square Park.
