New Beginnings and Beloved Traditions

March is in full swing and we’re feeling energized after a fantastic All Members Chamber Night at Montrose Bowl. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of conversation, collaboration and connection. It was wonderful to see both familiar faces and new ones coming together to strengthen our local business community.

This month, we invite you to join us in celebrating two exciting grand openings in our community. On Thursday, March 12 at 12:30 p.m., we’ll gather to welcome Crescenta Cañada Cat Clinic, followed by the grand opening of Montrose ADHC on Thursday, March 19 at 2 p.m. Ribbon cuttings are always a special moment for local businesses and there’s nothing better than showing up to support and celebrate their next chapter.

Spring also means two of our most anticipated events are just around the corner. Our 6th Annual MVCC Easter Bunny Yard Drop event, proudly supported by the YMCA of the Foothills, is returning soon. Whether you want to wake up to Easter magic, surprise someone or donate eggs to help fill baskets delivered by the Glendale Police Dept. to deserving children in our community, this is a wonderful way to spread joy throughout our community. Be sure to place your orders online at bit.ly/mvcceaster26 by April 1!

And then it’s time for one of Montrose’s favorite traditions, the 11th Annual Montrose Craft Beer Fest, proudly supported by Environmental 911, taking place on Sunday, April 12. Get ready for Brews & Beats on Honolulu Avenue where great brews, delicious local food, live music and plenty of fun come together for an unforgettable afternoon. Grab your presale tickets now at bit.ly/CBF2026 (case-sensitive) and save because prices go up the day of the event.

There’s so much to celebrate this season and we hope you’ll join us!
