The Tracy Area Chamber of Commerce focuses on serving Tracy and the surrounding communities, hosting a multitude of diff erent events that cater to many diff erent ages and demographics. The Chamber also tries to space these events throughout the year to benefi t community members. Annual events that take place currently include the following: The Tracy Area Chamber of Commerce has its Annual Banquet either at the end of January or the beginning of February to celebrate community members and the previous year’s success. There are many awards given out that evening which include Farmer of the Year, Citizen of the Year, Boss of the Year, Chamber Member of the Year, and the Diamond Award. This is a great night to recognize all the hard work community members have put back into the community of Tracy. The Prairie Women’s Expo is a vendor show that is held each spring; the show has taken place for 14 years and the committee works all year long to make sure the next show is just a little bit better than the previous year. The Chamber helps sponsor city-wide rummage sales during the third weekend in June. It’s a great time to hunt for treasures. The largest event for the Chamber is Box Car Days on Labor Day weekend, an event that is huge for Tracy and surrounding communities! It is a jam-packed weekend with events beginning on Friday evening and going through Labor Day with the Grand Parade at 1 p.m. sharp. Please look on the City of Tracy website or the Tracy Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook for a full list of events and to keep up with any changes! Another big event for the Chamber is the Tracy Area Car & Motorcycle Show. This show is in September and usually takes place in Central Park. This is open to everyone and registration takes place on the day of the show. There is always food, music, and fun had at this event! There are a couple of events in the fall hosted by the Chamber: Trunk or Treat (pictured) and the Parade of Lights! Trunk or Treat takes place around Halloween at the Sanford Tracy parking lot and includes trunks decorated by businesses, organizations and residents. It’s always a great time! The last event of the year takes place in the winter and is an all-day event. The Chamber, along with Chamber businesses, sponsors photos with Santa and a Parade of Lights! Organizations, businesses and families dress up in illuminating outfi ts and walk through downtown while spectators enjoy hot cocoa and some glow sticks. All of these events wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and support from the dedicated committee members, the committed Chamber Members and the supporting community we have here in Tracy.
