Chamber Chat – November 2025

THE JACKSONVILLE CHAMBER of Commerce extends its warmest holiday wishes to everyone.

We are actively progressing with our Victorian Christmas preparations. There’s a flurry of activity, from coordinating with neighbors to adorn their homes to ordering candy canes for Father Christmas’s visit with the children. Our trolleys are also being readied to bring cheer to the Rogue Valley and our local community.

The Holiday Trolley Lights Tour commences on December 1, and tickets are available now. You can reserve your individual tickets or even an entire trolley at jacksonvilleoregon.org. Coffee, hot chocolate, and cider will be available for purchase at the “Trolley Station” near the Visitor Information Center. Volunteers will also share daily town happenings with riders, allowing them to plan activities before or after their tour.

As the holiday season approaches, we encourage everyone to SHOP LOCAL. Discover unique gifts for your friends and family at Jacksonville’s local retailers, restaurants, or inns. Our business owners offer a diverse selection, ensuring you’ll find something special for everyone on your list. Plus, a leisurely stroll through our beautifully decorated town will undoubtedly enhance your holiday spirit.

Would you like to spread some holiday cheer this giving season? We’re looking for volunteers! Please contact President@jacksonvilleoregon.org to learn more.

For additional chamber news, join us at our monthly Board Meetings, held on the first Tuesday of every month at 8:30am at Bella Union.
