The Staten Island Chamber of Commerce presents:

The Stars & Stripes Soiree

Thursday, July 16 at 7PM • Blue

Celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial at the Stars & Stripes Soiree

Join the Chamber and fellow members of the small business and nonprofit communities for the Chamber’s 2025 Gala: Aloha Island.

This year’s Gala will be themed as a Hawaiian Luau, and will feature live music by Cause and the Effects, one of NYC’s premiere wedding and event bands, as well as food and an open bar.

We’ll be kicking off the summer in a casual setting, so business casual - or your favorite Aloha shirt - is welcomed!
