El Cerrito’s “Best of” campaign sparked a sensation garnering votes for favorite El Cerrito (and nearby) businesses in categories as diverse as “Best Fitness Classes” to “Best Real Estate Agent” and “Best Donut Shop.”

The El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce honors each winner, snaps professional photos, provides a suite of marketing and promotional materials – both digital and tactile – to all honorees, and more. El Cerrito City Council and Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia will be among the dignitaries on hand to meet and honor the local business superstars that help make El Cerrito a Bay Area jewel.

This event is jointly-hosted by El Cerrito Honda and El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce.

WINNERS: Award Certificates - your RSVP ensures we'll create and have your customized certificate at the event.
