Signature Chamber Events
Some events are simply put on a calendar. Others become part of who we are.
For generations, our community has come together to celebrate the people, places, creativity, and coastal character that make our towns so special. The Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce is proud to help bring some of these beloved traditions to life—events that draw neighbors, visitors, businesses, artists, families, and friends together year after year.
These are the moments we look forward to. The traditions we pass along. The celebrations that have become part of the culture and character of our community.
March
Community Awards Gala
The Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce Community Awards is our opportunity to celebrate the business owners who show up for their neighbors. The volunteers who give their time without asking for recognition. The organizations that step in when help is needed. The community leaders, educators, nonprofits, and everyday champions who make Capitola and Soquel stronger, kinder, and more connected.
