“Taste of Brookings” Annual Celebration
- This event has passed.
Previously known as the Chamber of Commerce “Annual Meeting,” this “Taste of Brookings Annual Celebration” will put a spotlight on the past year’s accomplishments and look to the future as they discuss their upcoming goals. The “Taste of Brookings” portion will allow you to get a taste from several local chefs to create one mouth-watering dinner and dessert experience!
Join us at 5:00 p.m. for drinks (1 drink included plus cash bar), and when you’re ready to experience your “Taste of Brookings,” make your way around the room to the several restaurants serving small portions of a Mexican themed entree. After your dinner, head around to our dessert vendors!
At 6:30 p.m. our program will update the audience on the past year of Chamber activity, celebrate those who went above and beyond, recognize our Leadership Brookings Class of 2023, and so much more. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Welcome to our “Taste of Brookings” participants! This year’s cuisine theme is a “Taste of Mexico:”
