Tickets and Sponsorships Available for the Annual Chamber Banquet & Awards

FREDERICKSBURG, Texas (February 9, 2026) – The Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce is excited to invite chamber members and community leaders to come together once again for an evening of celebration at the 106th Annual Chamber Banquet & Awards. This long-standing tradition brings our business community together to recognize the people, organizations, and leaders whose dedication and service help make Fredericksburg and Gillespie County such a special place to live and work.

The Chamber Banquet celebrates excellence in leadership and service through the presentation of several distinguished honors, including Outstanding Chamber Man & Woman of the Year, Outstanding Public Servant, Community Achievement Award, Volunteer of the Year, and the Penny C. McBride Distinguished Service Award. Sponsorship opportunities remain available for awards, providing businesses with a meaningful way to support community recognition while gaining visibility among more than 400 attendees.

“Each year, we are reminded just how fortunate we are to live and work in a community filled with passionate and committed leaders,” said Jim Mikula, Chamber President and CEO. “We look forward to celebrating the successes of our members and honoring those who continually go above and beyond for Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.”

In addition to tickets and sponsorships, the Chamber is currently accepting donations for its Silent Auction. This year, the Silent Auction will take the place of the traditional live auction and will feature an easy, streamlined bidding experience using the OneCause mobile bidding app. Attendees will be able to bid conveniently from their phones throughout the evening, creating a more engaging and accessible auction experience. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to donate items, services, experiences, or gift certificates to support the event.

Individual banquet tickets are available for purchase, along with premium reserved tables. Chamber members may also use their membership points toward the purchase of tickets or tables by contacting the Chamber’s Director of Member Services. Advanced registration is required. For more information or to register, visit fbgtxchamber.org or call 830-997-5000.
