2023 Annual Awards Gala

2023 Chamber Awards Gala

Business is roaring, and we are celebrating in larger-than-life fashion! The Sitka Chamber of Commerce 2023 Annual Awards Gala: Vintage Circus is going to be the biggest show, for the greatest members on earth. Dust off your top hat, bring out the sequins, and prepare yourself for a night of wonderment.
 
The gala has proven to be Sitka’s premiere business and social event. A see and be seen affair. The extravagant décor, gourmet food, signature cocktails, riveting entertainment, and networking opportunities are beyond imagination. Most importantly, we recognize those in the community who go above and beyond to make Sitka such a wonderful place to live and work when we reveal award winners of Business of the Year, New Business of the Year, Community Heroes, and Cossack Cap.

Step right up to Harrigan Centennial Hall on Saturday, January 21^st. Gates open at 5:30 pm with upscale festival bites, spirits and soda, and carnival-style games. We move “under the big top” at 6:30 pm for the main event—a dazzling spectacle of beauty, curiosities, and gastronomical delights. Dress code is black tie optional, and we encourage you to be inspired by the 1920s circus theme! Whether you embrace your inner mobster with a pinstripe suit and bowler hat… mesmerize the crowd with a glitzy flapper dress or glamorous art deco gown… or don vintage circus attire… we hope you dress to impress.

We can’t wait to see you make a grand entrance at the 2023 Annual Awards Gala!
