After a One-Year Hiatus, The Holiday Bash Returns Bigger and Better on December 4 — Featuring 97 Rock’s DJ Jickster, Live Music, Raffles, Sports Legends, Special Guest Bartenders, a VIP Party Experience & Concert.
The Southtowns Regional Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of its signature event, the Holiday Bash & Scholarship Fundraiser, taking place Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30p.m. at Buffalo RiverWorks. After a one-year hiatus, the Holiday Bash is back — bigger, better, and more electrifying than ever.
This year introduces an expanded event experience, including an exclusive VIP Party featuring premium perks, followed by a full concert by Nerds Gone Wild open to all attendees. For those joining only the entertainment portion, general admission concert tickets are also available, offering the community more ways than ever to be part of the celebration.
In alignment with the Chamber’s mission, a few local students enrolled in entrepreneurial programs will be onsite, promoting their small businesses through a mini pop-up display — highlighting the young innovators who benefit directly from the Chamber’s scholarship and workforce development initiatives.
The evening will be emceed by 97 Rock’s DJ Jickster, who will bring his trademark humor, energy, and Buffalo spirit to the stage. Guests will enjoy live entertainment, a festive Prime Rib dinner, and a wide range of raffle prizes — including boat cruises, signed sports memorabilia, and unique packages that highlight the best of the Southtowns. An online auction will open to the public next week for additional chances to support the cause.
Adding to the excitement, Buffalo Sports and Music Legends will make special appearances throughout the night, and the Buffalo Bills Fan of the Year will step behind the bar as one of the evening’s special guest bartenders — ensuring a night full of fun, spirit, and community pride.
“We’re so excited to bring the community together again for this year’s Holiday Bash,” said Andrea Ball, Director of Marketing and Outeach for the Southtowns Regional Chamber of Commerce. “After taking a year off, we knew we had to come back bigger than ever. With an expanded VIP experience, a full concert, DJ Jickster as our emcee, amazing raffle prizes, and entrepreneurial students showcasing their businesses, this year’s Bash blends entertainment, community, and purpose — all in support of scholarships and opportunities for local students.”
The Holiday Bash supports the Chamber’s Scholarship and Workforce Development Programs, helping Southtowns region students and young professionals to pursue their goals and strengthen the region’s future workforce.
