Charlton Business Alliance, a non-profit group with the purpose of networking, collaborating and creating a business community within Charlton and the surrounding area, with support from the Charlton Economic Development Commission, is hosting a Business Expo on Thursday, May 8, 2025 from 5PM-8PM in the Bay Path Regional Vocational High School Gymnasium.
“The plan is to not only bring local business together for business to business and business to consumer networking but to bring together businesses and community,” said Matt Power, President of the Charlton Business Alliance and Owner of local sign shop, The Vinyl Underground.
The space has room for about 70 vendors and will also include demonstrations from Bay Path Vocational Students. All attendees will also be entered into door prize raffles, which include a 4-pack of tickets to the Worcester Red Sox (WooSox) vs. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp on August 21, which is Town of Charlton Takeover Night at WooSox and a Full Day Spa Package at Prestige Salon Nails & Pedicure in Webster, MA.
Vendor spots are available for $25 for Charlton Business Alliance members and $50 for nonmembers, but a $125 payment will cover both a booth, and the annual $100 membership fee for those who want to join and be a part of the event.
“We think this is one of the first events of its kind in the area, and we hope for it to be an annual event,” said Cara Holland, Vice President of the Charlton Business Alliance and Financial Planner at Edward Jones.
The Charlton Business Alliance started in 2024 and has gained significant traction, with more than 25 current members and plans to continue to grow. Membership is open to any business in Charlton, or neighboring town businesses with an interest in growing their business with Charlton community members.
