We’re excited to announce the Kickoff JAMboree!
Join us June 6th for the first gathering in our Downtown Mixer Series. We’ll be at Commons Park next to the museum for an afternoon of music, connection, and community.
Hosted by Wyldfyre, this open music jam is all about coming together to play, listen, and celebrate what makes Willow Creek feel like home.
This event is also something deeper – a heartfelt tribute to two beloved members of our community, Ruben Marquez and Jimi Jeff. Their spirit and love for music helped shape this place, and we’re honored to carry that forward.
WE’RE ALSO PUTTING A CALL OUT FOR VENDORS. We have 15 spots available at $60 each, reserved for local community vendors. If you’d like to be part of it, email info@willowcreekchamber.com.
There will be local vendors, food, drinks, and fun for all ages. It is also a benefit for the Willow Creek Chamber of Commerce, supporting our work to uplift local businesses and build community.
Come as you are, bring a friend, and help us kick off the season!

It’s almost time for Willow Creek’s Summer Mixer Series!

The excitement will kick off on Saturday May 1st, and we have something special in store. Stay tuned!

The Next Willow Creek Photo Contest will be all about summer! Look for the entry form on June 21st!
