Ribbon Cuttings
Celebrate Your Business with a Ribbon Cutting
Every milestone deserves to be celebrated.
Whether you're opening your doors for the first time, relocating, expanding, celebrating an anniversary, or beginning a new chapter under new ownership, we'd love to celebrate with you.
A Ribbon Cutting is a wonderful way to introduce your business to the Claremont community, meet fellow Chamber members, and celebrate alongside customers, friends, family, and local leaders. Our Chamber Ambassadors are there to welcome your guests and help make the celebration memorable.

Make It Your Own
Your Ribbon Cutting should reflect your business and your personality.
Invite the people who have supported your journey, share a little about your story, offer refreshments if you'd like, and think about what will make the experience memorable for your guests.
Some businesses offer tours, product demonstrations, giveaways, or grand opening specials—but the best celebrations are simply the ones that feel authentic to you.
