Welcome to the Plattsburg Chamber of Commerce
Residents and businesses have known all along what makes Plattsburg special: it's more than just the casual stroll through the historic "roots" of the town or the quaint shops along Main Street. It's the people who make this town unique, warm and inviting, welcoming you into their businesses and homes, as well as their hearts.
Working hand in hand with the people of this City is what has made all of our community events and activities possible. Without the help and cooperation of so many individuals and volunteers, the Chamber could not achieve any of its goals.
As an organization, we have truly been blessed to work with some of Plattsburg's most outstanding leaders and true innovators.
This City is fortunate to have a such a wide "pool" of talented people living within its boundaries, along with so many diverse interests and areas of expertise. One look at the Fall Festival, the 4th of July Celebration, Plattsburg's Community Christmas or the Homes or Church Tours, to name just a few, and you'll see evidence of each committee's passion, dedication, hard work and skills.
Working together, we can continue to make Plattsburg a happy, strong, thriving, environment!
This Chamber is organized for the purpose of advancing the economic, industrial, professional, cultural, and civic welfare of Plattsburg, Missouri; to encourage growth of existing industries and businesses while giving all proper assistance to any firms or individuals seeking to locate in Plattsburg; & to support all these activities believed to be beneficial to the community and area.

The Plattsburg Chamber strives to partner with community individuals, organizations, businesses and volunteers in order to create a thriving, growing, and enjoyable environment for the town and those who live in it.
Events
In order to recognize the hard work of community volunteers, teachers and other individuals within various organizations, the Chamber holds an annual Recognition and Awards Banquet each spring. Without these volunteers, none of the following events would be possible.
Watermelon, ice-cream, and water are just a few of the 4th of July refreshments Chamber volunteers have provided and handed out for free to the community before the big fireworks display.
The Fall Festival, one of Plattsburg's biggest events, was originally under the Chamber umbrella but over the years it has grown to be its own committee and organization. At present, Chamber members still help volunteer for, advertise and promote many of the events.
For the convenience of our visitors and townspeople during the city-wide garage sales event, the Chamber organizes and provides a free list and location map of all the sales, which is displayed on the web and distributed throughout the town at various locations.
When it comes to Christmas, the Chamber is fortunate to have many big lovers of the Christmas season in its midst. Back in 2007, the Chamber brought back one of its old traditions by having Santa come to town so children could have their picture taken with him. The pictures and other activities provided were completely free. Through the efforts of the Chamber, the event has continued to grow each year and now includes a full day of festivities, along with a home and business decorating contest & Christmas Homes Tour. We also celebrate our Chamber "Person of the Year", by showcasing them in the Christmas Lighted Parade.
The Chamber's volunteers work tirelessly throughout the year doing many tasks and these examples are just a few of the ways the Chamber is at work for the community. Without our members and volunteers, none of these things would be possible.
