Allen Chamber Honors Community Volunteers at A Night in Hollywood Gala

The Allen Chamber of Commerce will host its 2026 Annual Recognition Gala, "A Night in Hollywood", from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, at the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel and Convention Center, 777 Watters Creek Blvd., Allen, to honor community volunteers, Allen American reported. The chamber describes the evening as a Hollywood-themed celebration of volunteers who contribute time and talent to Allen’s business community.

Tickets are priced at $150 per person and $250 per couple, and the chamber warns that ticket sales end at 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20. The Allen Chamber’s event page and Allen American both list Tracy@AllenChamber.com as the contact for questions; the event page includes the repeated notice, "TICKET SALES END AT 5PM ON FRIDAY, FEB. 20!" The provided materials do not display a specific purchase link or phone number, and the chamber’s contact email appears as the provided channel for ticket inquiries.

The chamber’s promotional copy frames the gala as a formal, themed evening; the Allenchamber page invites guests, "Roll out the red carpet, it’s time for an extraordinary evening honoring the extraordinary people who give their time, heart, and talent to our community." Starlocalmedia’s Allen American coverage echoes that tone, writing, "This year’s theme, A Night in Hollywood, invites guests to dress for the occasion and enjoy an evening the chamber describes as filled with elegance, celebration and community spirit." The event is positioned to bring together community leaders, business partners and supporters while recognizing volunteers who strengthen Allen’s local business community.

Organizers list the venue as the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel and Convention Center (also referenced in some materials as Marriott Dallas/Allen at Watters Creek), with the street address 777 Watters Creek Blvd., Allen; the Allenchamber page includes a venue map element labeled "Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel and Convention Center MapMap." The reconciliation of name variants in promotional and news copy indicates all references point to the same facility at that Watters Creek Blvd. address.

Allen American’s event page contains historical material and imagery that situates the gala in a continuing local tradition: an image file name on the page appears as "Allen Chamber Gala 20223.JPG," and the site references a past Allen/Fairview Chamber banquet whose theme was "A Night at the Speakeasy." The Allenchamber event page also notes organizational details including "U.S. Chamber of Commerce Member" and the banner "Welcome to the new Allen Chamber of Commerce" alongside the line "A brand-new website is coming soon!"

For questions about tickets, timing, or event specifics, the chamber’s materials direct inquiries to Tracy@AllenChamber.com; Allen American is the news outlet that reported the event details and attributes the event information to the Allen Chamber of Commerce.
