ART GALLERY Downtown Morgan Hill’s Cura Contemporary

was voted this year’s Best Art Gallery in Morgan Hill.

he winners listed in these pages once again prove how passionate and dedicated the Morgan Hill community is when it comes to their favorite local restaurants, shops, businesses, destinations, parks, service providers, events and recreation options. After all, our annual Best of Morgan Hill edition is much more than a guide that offers your recommendations for everything from margaritas and tax services to dogfriendly spots and antique stores. It is also a celebration of the many beloved, locally owned businesses that are part of the fabric of the Morgan Hill community. Business owners as well as their employees, customers and sponsors are the people who make this community a valued place to live and work. Reading the list of winners in these pages, one can be easily reminded of the value of supporting local businesses, and how convenient it is to do so. Buying locally strengthens the local economy and helps the people who work hard to keep Morgan Hill strong. Big-box stores and online giants will do just fine without another sale. But the businesses that sponsor our kids’ sports teams, donate raffle prizes, host community events and greet us by name count on steady support. According to data tracking local spending, of every $100 spent at a local store, approximately $68 remains in the local economy. By contrast, that same $100 spent at a chain store or large national retailer keeps far less— often less than half as much— circulating locally. Because local shops are more likely to use local suppliers, hire local workers, bank locally and donate locally, money spent locally tends to recirculate through the community multiple times—creating extra jobs, sustaining other small businesses and supporting community programs. Buying locally also adds a personal touch to your dining or shopping experience that online and big-box stores cannot provide. A great brunch in downtown Morgan Hill can warm your soul, and your local barista knows exactly how you prefer your latte. Read on, see how your local favorites stack up or make plans to visit some of Morgan Hill’s best that you maybe haven’t patronized in a while. - Times staff

We started Modern Air with a simple goal: take great care of our customers and do the job right. Being recognized by the Morgan Hill community is an incredible honor. Thank you to our customers, neighbors, friends and everyone who voted for us.

Carolyn Burkhardt

Voted Best Real Estate Agent

Three years running. I'm beyond grateful to be voted Best of Morgan Hill 2026 for the third year in a row! This one means something different — three years isn't luck, it's you, showing up for me again and again. This community, and especially the Mama Bears who show up for me year after year — you already know the motto by now: be kind and give grace, and you're the reason I get to live it out every single day. Thank you for trusting me with the biggest decisions of your lives, again and again.
