Truckee Chamber Announces Top of the Town – 73rd Annual Truckee Chamber Awards Celebration

The Truckee Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce Top of the Town – the 73rd Annual Truckee Chamber Awards Celebration, taking place on Friday, September 25, 2026 at the Alder Creek Adventure Center. More than just an awards ceremony, Top of the Town is one of Truckee's most cherished community traditions, a night dedicated to recognizing the businesses, organizations, and individuals whose passion, innovation, and commitment help make Truckee the extraordinary place we all call home.

Each year, the Truckee Chamber brings together business leaders, nonprofit partners, community members, and local supporters to celebrate those who strengthen our local economy, create meaningful connections, and contribute to the unique character of our mountain community. The evening will feature updates from the Truckee Chamber on their work over the last year, a fun awards presentation, delicious food, local beverages, a lively silent auction, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate alongside friends, colleagues, and neighbors at the beautiful Alder Creek Adventure Center in Tahoe Donner.

"Top of the Town is one of my favorite nights of the year because it reminds us that behind every great community are people and businesses who show up every day to make a difference," said Jessica Penman, President & CEO of the Truckee Chamber of Commerce. "Our local businesses do so much more than provide products and services; they create jobs, support local nonprofits, sponsor community events, and help preserve the spirit of Truckee. This evening is our opportunity to thank them and celebrate the impact they have on our community."

The highlight of the evening is recognizing this year's outstanding Chamber members through five award categories:

  • Top of the Town – Business of the Year
  • New Business of the Year
  • Outstanding Customer Service
  • Business Owner/Entrepreneur of the Year
  • Community First Award

The Truckee Chamber invites the community to help recognize these exceptional businesses by submitting nominations for Chamber members in good standing. Nominations will be accepted through Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Community members who are unsure whether a business is a current Chamber member can search the Business Directory at Truckee.com or contact the Truckee Chamber for assistance.
