What’s usually an upbeat Wednesday Evening Market in Highwood was converted into a candlelight vigil after the mass shooting during a Fourth of July parade in nearby Highland Park.
Chantal Maldonado hugs her mother Maria Luisa Rodriguez while attending a vigil on July 6, 2022, in Everts Park in Highwood, Ill. two days after seven people were killed and at least two dozen were wounded in Highland Park in a mass shooting during a 4th of July parade.
The vigil began about 6:30 p.m. at Everts Park, 111 North Ave., where neighbors tore up strips of orange fabric, the shade signifying gun violence awareness, and tied them side by side along a long piece of black fabric hanging like a clothesline from one tree to another.On a table, they placed a white banner with the word “ENOUGH” stenciled into a drawing of a bullet, the orange and black strips of fabric dancing in the wind behind it.
