117th Annual Awards Dinner

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce (MPCC) will honor several distinguished citizens and one yet to be named business, at MPCC's 117th Annual Awards Dinner on Saturday, March 14, 2026.

This elegant annual event provides excellent exposure to a wide array of business, elected and community leaders while recognizing the contribution of individuals who have made a lasting impact to our region. Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Monterey County Bank.  This signature event is expected to sell out.
