26th Annual Awards Gala

The Greater New Milford Chamber of Commerce works year-round to strengthen our local business community and make New Milford a better place to live, work, and thrive. 

Through networking, business resources, scholarships, the Fourth of July Celebration, the annual Holiday Tree Lighting, and other community initiatives, the Chamber brings businesses and residents together.

As our nation celebrates America 250 in 2026, the Chamber will honor the enduring impact of American business, industry, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Here in New Milford and the surrounding towns, that legacy lives on through generations of local businesses, manufacturers, tradespeople, farmers, and entrepreneurs.

On October 2, 2026, we will host our 26th Awards Gala, recognizing the Chamber Member Business of the Year and Distinguished Community Member of the Year. 

We invite you to join us for an evening of celebration, connection, and appreciation for the people and businesses that make our community thrive. Together, we’ll honor this year’s award recipients and celebrate the enduring spirit of local business and community.

Proceeds from the Gala support the Chamber’s programs and events throughout the year. 

Sponsorships and donors of raffle prizes are welcome as well. Your support helps us champion local business, invest in our community, and honor the enduring spirit of American enterprise.

Thank you for your support.
