Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce"The measure of a Chamber isn't the size of its staff, its budget, or its community. It's how much better that community becomes because the Chamber exists. To our Board, our members, and the people of Ketchikan, this award belongs to you. Thank you to the Alaska Chamber for this tremendous honor. And from our little island at the southern end of Alaska, I hope we've demonstrated one thing: You don't have to be big to make a big difference."

Ketchikan Chamber of CommerceThe Greater Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is a wonderfully diverse group of business and community leaders who bring different experiences, industries, perspectives, personalities, and yes, fun and occasionally different volumes, to the table. They ask good questions, challenge ideas, laugh a lot, speak up, show up, and work exceptionally well together. They are the main reason we have been named Alaska State Chamber of the Year twice in six years. What they have in common is the part that matters most: a genuine commitment to Ketchikan and to the businesses, organizations, and people who make this community work. We’re especially excited to welcome our newly elected and returning Board members to the table and add their voices, ideas, and experience to an already pretty special group. Congratulations to Gordon Williams, Gracia O’Connell, Lincoln Hauser, Taushia Hilton, and Ginger Yeił Atoowu McCormick. We’re looking forward to what this Board will accomplish together. Great for Business. Great for Ketchikan.

Ketchikan Chamber of CommerceWe had the most wonderful and engaging Chamber Luncheon today featuring our local Filipino American Entrepreneurs, who were so inspiring with their stories of resilience and how they got to where they are today. Additionally, they shared about how family was so important in their growth. From 27 years old to 38 years old, they were candid, positive, and quite frankly refreshing. Salamat to our panel, and to Chef Bong for the amazing food! So Here's Our Question: What Filipino business in Ketchikan is your go-to, your favorite, the one you would recommend to friends? Also, is there a local Filipino business who folks should know about, but maybe they don't yet?

Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce🎄 Merry Merchants & Munch is BACK — and this year, we’re making it even easier to shop local, dine local, and win big. Last year, our community spent an incredible $727,000 locally in just four weeks with participating Merry Merchants & Munch businesses. That’s not pocket change. That’s real local economic impact ~supporting local jobs, local families, and the businesses that support Ketchikan all year long. AND because we know how real life works, we made one pretty important upgrade this year. You can still collect your punches the traditional way. But NEW for 2026: shoppers can also scan their receipts to be entered. Because we do know some of those paper punch cards are eventually discovered in January... wedged between the seats of the car next to three french fries and a receipt from 2023. 😂 So shop. Eat. Save those receipts. Scan them. Get entered. You could win two round-trip tickets on Alaska Airlines ~ and for our legendary late shoppers and munchers, we’ll have another prize waiting: ⛽ A $500 Petro Marine gift card. Because after Christmas shopping in Ketchikan, who doesn’t need a little fuel boost? Merry Merchants & Munch 2026 Shop Local. Dine Local. Win Big. Great for Business. Great for Ketchikan.

Ketchikan Chamber of CommerceYou've been asking, and finally ticket sales are live. This year, the Celebration of the Stars: Our Enchanted Forest invites you to choose how you want to experience the magic. For the first time, guests can select from four distinctive ticket experiences, each offering its own way to enjoy one of Ketchikan’s most elegant evenings of the year. At the highest level, our Enchanted Hour places guests at the very heart of the evening, with front-row seating, a private appetizer and cocktail hour, elevated hospitality, personalized touches, and a truly first-class gala experience from arrival through the final award. Think of it as the First Class lounge experience of Celebration of the Stars — an intentional nod to our longtime major sponsor, Alaska Airlines. Guests enjoy early access, elevated concierge hospitality, a more intimate setting, premium food and beverage service, and a seamless transition into the evening before the full gala begins. Just behind them, the Gilded Grove Table Experience offers premium second-row seating, priority entry, thoughtful amenities, and an elevated level of service designed to make the evening feel extra special. Our Reserved Table and Individual Seating options don't leave any of the glamour out and ensure there is a place in the Enchanted Forest for the entire community. All of which will have the most glorious options such as locally made chocolates and exclusive wines. And no matter which experience you choose, every guest will enjoy butler-passed appetizers, an elegant three-course plated dinner, a choice of entrée, and a decadent dessert inspired by the magic of the forest, all surrounded by beautiful décor, storytelling, community recognition, and a few surprises along the way. From the first bite to the final award, Celebration of the Stars is more than a gala. It is an experience. 🌲 Four ways to attend. ✨ One unforgettable Enchanted Forest. 🥂 One extraordinary evening celebrating the people and businesses who make Ketchikan shine. Reserve your place in the Enchanted Forest. https://www.facebook.com/events/28775743758712035
