Join the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce for our most anticipated event of the year — the Annual Awards Gala, hosted at the prestigious Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa.
This year’s theme, “A Century of Legacy,” celebrates the remarkable accomplishments and enduring impact of the past century while looking toward the bright future ahead. Following last year’s 100th Anniversary milestone, this year’s Gala honors the people, partnerships, and progress that have shaped our community through the decades. It’s a night to reflect on where we’ve been, recognize where we are, and celebrate the leaders and businesses carrying our legacy forward.
The evening will feature a seated dinner, networking reception, and an inspiring awards ceremony — all set in an elegant black-tie atmosphere.
