Effingham County Chamber Annual Gala - 2026

Dust off your dancing shoes and break out your best disco threads — the Effingham County Chamber is turning up the groove for this year’s Annual Gala: Saturday Night Fever!

Step into a night where the lights shine bright, the dance floor calls your name, and the spirit of the ‘70s takes center stage. Celebrate the rhythm of business success as we honor the Chamber’s milestones and the shining stars of our community.

We’ll recognize the Excellence in Business Award recipients (McMahon Meats & Northside Ford-Lincoln), along with our Ambassador of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and Citizen of the Year (all three a surprise!)—spotlighting those who keep Effingham County moving to the beat of progress.

Enjoy delicious dinner stations, groove-worthy tunes, and signature cocktails that’ll have you feeling the disco fever all night long. Whether you’re channeling your inner John Travolta or rocking your favorite retro glam, get ready to sparkle under the disco ball!
