A little more about the history of the Gala....

On February 8th, 2025, we hosted our annual gala, an incredible evening dedicated to celebrating the achievements of our local communities. This special event not only honors the hard work and dedication of the people and businesses in the region but also serves as the Chamber's sole fundraiser for putting on a year’s worth of vital community events.

The GNACC Gala is much more than just a fancy night out. It’s a celebration of the growth, resilience, and accomplishments that our communities have worked so hard to achieve. From small businesses to nonprofit organizations, we enjoy highlighting those in our community.

The funds raised at the gala are crucial in supporting the Chamber’s ongoing efforts to create and host a variety of community-focused events throughout the year. These events include the Annual Holiday Tree Lighting, the community Easter Egg Hunt, and many more that bring our community together, fostering connections, partnerships, and a spirit of collaboration.

This year’s 2025 Gala was an amazing night of celebration and connection. It was truly an evening that highlighted how much we’ve achieved together and how much more we can accomplish as we continue to work side by side. It was a gathering of local business owners, leaders, and community members who all share a common goal: to keep making North Idaho a great place to live, work, and play.

We invite everyone to check back for more details on the 2026 Gala. It promises to be another exciting evening of honoring our community’s successes, and we can’t wait to see you there!
