Anyone looking for fun events in Shelbyville in 2026 can mark their calendars for several already.  These happenings look to take advantage of holidays, warmer weather in the summer, and the goal of supporting local businesses.  The Greater Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce is behind these efforts and is looking to implement new member incentives in the coming year to attract more membership and involvement.

The newly announced events for 2026 begin on Valentine’s Day.  Katalyn Dragovan is the director of the Greater Shelbyville Chamber of Commerce, says it’s a way to enjoy the night out with a loved one while exploring member businesses. 

The Chamber looks to tie in even more businesses to its next event: the Retail Trail in April.

The attention then turns to Main Street all summer long for the Makers and Growers Market and the Main Street Mingle.  Dragovan says the Chamber is expanding the range of dates for these markets. 

The Chamber of Commerce is looking ahead also in terms of how they open up participation of businesses.  Many events will soon be restricted to only members.
