who we are
The Schuyler Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit focused on growing local business and building community pride. We host events that bring Schuyler together—like Cinco de Schuyler, markets, and mixers—while supporting entrepreneurs and driving economic success. It’s about connection, celebration, and making Schuyler stronger every day.
Say goodbye to the old Labor Day weekend… and welcome to Schuyler Days — the new era of celebration in Schuyler! We’ve rebranded the weekend into something bigger, louder, and way more fun. Think: heart-pounding rodeo action, live music that keeps you dancing, cold drinks in the beer garden, epic alumni tournaments, class reunions, and surprises around every corner. This is not your average small-town weekend. This is Schuyler Days — and it’s everything our community deserves.
Let’s look back
Schuyler days Q&A
Why doesn’t the Schuyler Chamber have a carnival for Schuyler Days, but has one for Cinco de Schuyler?
Great question! Before COVID-19, Schuyler did have a carnival during Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, our long-time carnival partner had to let go of many of its stops — including ours — and found a new home that same weekend where they now make more revenue.
​
Since then, we’ve reached out to carnival companies across the U.S., but Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for them. Most are already booked at long-standing events. We’re always exploring options, and if a quality carnival becomes available for future Schuyler Days, we’d love to bring it back! In the meantime, we continue to grow Schuyler Days with new experiences that celebrate our town in big ways.
