🌸✨ Big Reveal: Introducing the 2025 Chamber Awards “Garden Tea Party” Theme ✨🌸
It’s official—and we are excited to finally share it.
This year’s Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet will be inspired by a:
🌸 Garden Tea Party 🌸
Elegant. Playful. Cozy. Charming. Inviting.
This year’s theme is designed to create a warm, welcoming space for meaningful connection, celebration, and community pride. Think soft florals, beautiful details, and an atmosphere that feels both special and comfortable—perfect for honoring the people and businesses that make Fairfield shine.
While dressing in theme is never required, many attendees enjoy participating, and it adds to the fun and festive feel of the evening. Whether you choose to dress up, dress down, or somewhere in between, you’ll fit right in. Our décor will, of course, bring the Garden Tea Party theme to life in a memorable way.
We’d also like to congratulate Danielle Townsend, the winner of our theme guessing game—thank you to everyone who joined in and helped build excitement!
