A New Year of Connection in Montrose 

As we step into the new year, the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce is excited for what’s ahead. We have big plans in the coming months to bring even more value to our members and meaningful experiences to our community – all while continuing to support the local businesses and organizations that make our area so special. 

As we closed out last year, we want to thank everyone who joined us for our final mixer at La Cañada Furniture & Design. It was a wonderful evening of friendly networking, meaningful conversations and celebrating a beautiful Montrose business. We are so fortunate to have such incredible businesses and business owners in our community and it was truly one of those nights none of us wanted to see end. 

Carrying that energy into the new year, we’re excited to bring our Chamber community together for Strike Up Connections – An All Members Chamber Night  taking place on Tuesday, Feb. 10 from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. at Montrose Bowl. Whether you’re a longtime member or curious about getting more involved, this is the perfect time to join us and learn more about the Chamber! 

We’re also excited to share that our two beloved spring events will be returning! The Easter “Egg My Home” event, proudly supported by the YMCA of the Foothills, will be back on Easter Sunday, April 5, with orders opening next month. 

The 11th Annual Montrose Craft Beer Fest also returns on Sunday, April 12 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the 2200 block of Honolulu Avenue. Save the dates and stay tuned for more details. 

We’re grateful for the continued support of our members and community and we look forward to a year filled with connection, celebration and growth in Montrose!
