Event Planning 2026

Cameron County Chamber of Commerce facilitating  a meeting at Tubby’s Tavern this month to put 2026 events on the community calendar.  A quick tally of events found on www.cameroncountychamber.org show more than 40 events planned for October.  The question is how to maximize and build on those events? 

On Sunday October 19 at 2pm, each organization/business can add their event to the calendar.  There will also be a discussion on continuing outdoor music events in the summer in addition to effectively marketing the events.  If you cannot attend the meeting, but want to share your planned events, email the chamber with the information at cameronchamber@gmail.com.
