"Summer Bash" Business Expo
For 2020, “Summer Bash” has NEW Name, Date, & Venue –
Holiday Business Expo
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we need to reschedule our August 20th “Summer Bash” Business Expo. We are renaming our event to Holiday Business Expo. We are moving our expo to our chamber member hotel, the Courtyard by Marriot San Diego El Cajon in El Cajon. We are excited to add an “after party” that will be held in the courtyard between 8:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. for further celebration. We will be using the 4,500 square-foot ballroom for our vendors and raffles, the foyer for our food vendors and the courtyard for our bar and “after party.”

The Chamber invites you to a fun-filled evening to meet local businesses and have the opportunity to win FREE door prizes. The evening will be filled with raffles, great samplings of delicious food from local restaurants and more!

La Mesa Chamber members came together to entertain guests and attendees at the final expo of the year, the 5th Annual “Summer Bash” Business Expo on Thursday, August 9th. Businesses and food vendors began arriving at 3:30 p.m. to set up at the La Mesa Community Center preparing for the evening’s festivities.
All of our food and beverage providers brought their “A” game and served delicious samples from their restaurants/businesses to the delight of our guests. We thank our dedicated evening food and beverage sponsors: BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Brew Coffee Spot, Cali Comfort BBQ, Curbside Eatery & Drinkery, Dream Dinners, El Torito – La Mesa, Golden Spoon, Little Roma, Los Pinos Taco Shop, Marie Callender’s – La Mesa, Nonno’s Ristorante Italiano, Pick Up Stix, Riviera Supper Club, Samuel Adams, Sycuan Casino, The Hills Local Pub and Valley Farm Market.
The networking was fast and furious and the buzz in the room grew throughout the evening as people arrived. All of our participating businesses were hot and heavy on the microphone, as they announced the winners of their FREE door prizes – over 44 were given away that night!
We thank Chris Brogan, our evening’s Emcee who did a fabulous job of making all of our announcements and keeping our activities on time! We thank Brian Sack who kept the door prize giveaway portion of the evening moving along so smoothly. Our sincere thanks to Sandra Small, our resident photographer who took photos of the evening and was joined by Chamber members CeCe Photo and Rippee Photography to complete the photos that captured our evening.
