ANNUAL COMMUNITY EVENTS THE GOLDEN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Community events serve many purposes in supporting the local economy. Events bring people into town, both locals and visitors. Many people that come for events get to experience the community for the first time and often come back to visit again. Community events serve as traditions for the local community and many people’s hometown memories often include attending annual events that were special to them.

Community events are also a way for local businesses to connect to the community through sponsorships, vendor and exhibitor booths, parade floats, and more. And last, community events put money back into local business. Events drive traffic into local stores and restaurants, but not only that, they often serve as fundraisers for nonprofit organizations to provide programming and supportive services year round.

The Golden Chamber of Commerce coordinates and supports many cherished community events in Golden.
