The Annual Chamber Celebration

Celebrating Greatness

October 6th, 2026

Join us for one of the most anticipated evenings of the year — the Annual Chamber Celebration, the official annual meeting of the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce. Held each fall, this event is more than just a meeting — it’s a celebration of our business community’s achievements and the leaders who made them happen.

Enjoy a delicious sit-down dinner, connect with fellow professionals, and raise a glass at the cash bar as we reflect on the past year. We’ll honor the incredible volunteer leaders who drive our mission forward — including outgoing Board members and committee and division chairs.

Whether you’re a small business owner, a corporate leader, or an emerging professional, this is your chance to celebrate success, build relationships, and be part of something bigger. Don’t miss it!
