The non-profit Orange Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau has proudly served the community for over a century with the goal of fostering a robust local economy by representing businesses, promoting the community and facilitating valuable connections.

As part of our ongoing commitment to the community, we have strived to organize and promote events that bolster local engagement and economic growth. However, it is with regret that the Board of the Orange Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau announces the cancellation of the 'Orange Chamber of Commerce May Parade,' scheduled for Saturday, May 3rd. While this difficult decision is due to a number of reasons, we cannot overlook the dramatic increase in the cost associated with organizing the event.

Since 1933, the Orange Chamber’s staff has successfully executed this parade in coordination with generous sponsorships from local businesses. To clarify, the parade is neither presented by the City of Orange, nor does the Chamber receive financial contributions from the City to implement this event.

Moving forward, the Boards of the Orange Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau and the Orange Chamber of Commerce Foundation will continue to explore alternative solutions and collaborate with other non-profit organizations and potential sponsors to ensure the success of future events.
