Set in the cozy Valentine Meadow at the Highlands Biological Station, this festive evening features a feast of Southern coastal flavors served up with community spirit and mountain charm.

Highlands on the Half-Shell is one of Highlands Biological Foundation’s largest annual fundraisers. Proceeds support our mission to provide exceptional nature education, support scientific research, and foster community connection to the natural world in the Southern Appalachians. Your ticket directly supports our work and helps protect the incredible biodiversity of our region.

This beloved event is made possible by generous volunteers and community members who lend their time, talent, and tastebuds to create something truly special.
