Parker Chamber Unveils La Paz Events, Meetings Calendar Through February 2026

The Parker Regional Chamber of Commerce & Tourism has updated its public events calendar with dozens of community gatherings, health fairs, recreational events and local government meetings through mid-February 2026, a schedule that matters for families, volunteers, small businesses and visitors tracking Parker-area activity.

The calendar includes January events now in the record. A Tourism Expo ran January 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Blue Water Resort and Casino, and Social Security Questions Answered appeared on the Chamber page for January 7 (1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and January 8 (9:00 a.m. to noon). Community festivities listed in mid-January included Camelpalooza on January 14 (4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) and a multi-day Gear Up & Gather event January 15–18 at 12 St & Joshua in front of Parker Motor Co.; the Gear Up & Gather listing includes the event copy, "Join us for a night of networking in the fast lane. Celebrating local business and the racing community."

Recurring community programs and classes appear throughout the calendar. PAACE parenting classes (PAACE PARENTING ACADEMY) were listed January 9 and January 16 at the Parker Community Center, 1115 W 12th St, Parker. Country Line Dance Lessons were posted repeatedly; the Chamber and Burbio snippets include the notice, "Parker Community Center presents Country Line Dance Lessons Call 928-669-9514 for any questions." Several sources list multiple dates for both PAACE and Country Line Dance Lessons into February and March.

Local government meetings and civic events are prominent in early February. Business Parkeraz lists a La Paz County Board of Supervisors meeting on February 2 and a Parker Town Council regular meeting on February 3; the ChamberMaster/Parkeraz calendar also lists county and town meetings on later February dates (for example February 16 and February 17). The calendar shows Social Security Questions Answered on February 4 (today), PAACE parenting classes on February 5, and community events on Saturday February 7 including Parker Cemetery Clean up, Take a Kid Fishing and a Chili Cook-off Showdown.

The calendar extends beyond mid-February in some feeds: Parkeraz Chambermaster entries list Valentine’s Day events, a Parker Rotary Desert Dash on February 14, Sip & Ingo River Bar Hop on February 15, Legacy Parker Dam 500 Fanfest & Tech on February 19, and arts and community events such as a Paint Party on February 23. Business Parkeraz reports "Results Found: 413" in its search extract, indicating a large aggregate of listings in the regional calendar network.

Users should note inconsistencies among feeds: the same event name appears on different dates across Chamber, ChamberMaster and Burbio listings. Burbio includes a technical note for calendar subscribers: "If you want visibility to this calendar from your iPhone or iPad, you may need to turn your sync settings 'on' on your device. See our FAQ's if you need help with this." The Chamber page contains the UI text "Add 0 Events to My Calendar."

What this means locally is practical: tourism-oriented events such as the Blue Water Resort expo and racing-related networking can increase foot traffic and lodging demand, while town council and La Paz County board meetings affect zoning, budgeting and services residents rely on. Verify dates and locations with the Parker Regional Chamber at 1217 S California Ave, Parker, AZ 85344 or with event venues such as Parker Community Center (1115 W 12th St) and Centennial Community Center (69725 Centennial Park Rd.) before planning attendance. The calendar’s volume and range suggest a busy winter season for Parker-area commerce, volunteering and civic life; confirm specific meeting dates to ensure participation in government and community decisions.
