Save the Date - Macomb Business Awards - Thursday, September 16, 2021

After last year’s cancellation due to COVID-19, we are excited to announce the return of the Macomb Business Awards! Slated for the afternoon of Thursday, September 16, the in-person event will be held at Jimmy John's Field in downtown Utica. Join us as we celebrate local businesses for their innovations, their generosity and their resilience. Tickets will be available soon. 

In the meantime, nominations will be accepted in six categories from July 12-30. We encourage all organizations to consider nominating themselves or others for recognition. Find guidance and other resources that can help you complete the submission on this page and make sure to mark your calendars for the in-person awards event, where we will announce all of the winners! We look forward to highlighting all of the great businesses that make Macomb their home.
