The Excitement Is Building

August is here and we’re excited to continue celebrating the community that makes Montrose so special. We want to congratulate Chief Robert William on his swearing-in and share how proud we are to see someone from our own community stepping into this important role. We look forward to working alongside him and continuing to support the strong partnership between our local businesses, residents and public safety leaders.

The excitement continues as we prepare for the 47th Annual Montrose Oktoberfest, proudly supported by Babaians Law Firm, on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Honolulu Avenue. This beloved community tradition is filled with carnival rides and games, delicious food, wine and beer, live entertainment, kids activities, contests and fun for all ages.

Before Oktoberfest arrives, there’s even more to look forward to! Join us for our next mixer at Mosaic Hair Studio, 2513 Honolulu Ave. in Montrose on Tuesday, Sept. 1 from 6 p.m.–8 p.m. Our mixers are open to everyone and are a great opportunity to meet local businesses, make new connections and unwind.

We’re also excited to bring back Road to Oktoberfest Bingo before the big day! Stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram for the official date announcement and event details. It’s always a fun evening of bingo, prizes and community spirit and we can’t wait to kick off Oktoberfest season with you.

Thank you for your continued support of the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to bringing you more workshops, mixers and community events and we hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!
