This year's Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner and Celebration Gala was Friday, January 30th with over 900 in attendance. This was a night of bringing area citizens together for one large celebration! We also honored the Chamber's Annual Award Winners and recognized the achievements of our incredible business community. To accommodate a large crowd, and by popular demand, we kept it in the Expo Center for 2026! The program included a celebration of the Chamber’s “National Chamber of the Year” award, our community’s many other great successes and recognition of our Chamber members, honoring several local businesses and individuals. This event served as a kickoff for 2026.
