Royko in Love
Where/When: Highland Park Public Library; Thursday, 7 p.m.

Footloose
Where/When: Highland Park High School Auditorium; Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.

Pricing: $10 per ticket.

Boys Basketball: Highland Park vs. Deerfield

Why Go: Because rivalry games are always the most exciting, and because Highland Park is due for a win.
 

Poetry Open Mic
Where/When: The Art Center Highland Park; Friday, 8 p.m.
Why Go: Because you know you've been dying for an audience to read your romantic poems to. Why else did you go through the trouble of writing them in iambic pentameter?

Why Go: You've only got two days left to check out the awesome art work submitted by Highland Park High School students.
Pricing: Free.

Cupid's Love Dash
