Thunder In The City
11th Annual Car and Bike Show in downtown Meadville. Dust off your car and get your bike out of storage, you don’t want to miss the excitement roaring into town. Last year’s attendance was over 15,000 on Friday and Saturday. While there are many activities for the entire family the idea of the event is to bring business into the Downtown area.
Golf Outings
Golf is great anytime – spring, summer or fall in Western PA. Mark your calendar now and plan to join us for outdoor fun and networking with other Chamber members at our annual fall golf outing and a summer women’s outing and caddy auction.

Local Job and Internship Fair
A job fair for area college and technical school students. In an effort to let area post secondary students know what job opportunities are in the Meadville-Western Crawford County area, we give our Chamber members the opportunity to showcase their businesses. Along with full and part-time employment possibilities, this is also a chance for underclassmen to check out potential internships.
Business After Hours
This casual networking event is a great way to cultivate new business relationships and strengthen existing ones. Each month, a different Chamber member hosts the event as an opportunity to showcase their business and staff. There is no charge for members and potential members to attend. The host provides the location, food, beverages and at least one door prize. The Chamber will promote the event via newsletter, radio and eblast.
