The Commonwealth Commerce Center was buzzing Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 as close to 200 guests—finalists, supporters, sponsors, and community members—came together to celebrate this year’s Best of Jackson Awards. The event space felt warm and welcoming thanks to burgundy linens and glass vases rented from Jackson Rental, which the Jackson Publishing Co. team filled with faux candles and baby’s breath to create a soft, elegant glow throughout the room. Guests enjoyed a dinner catered by The Moveable Feast, and each seat featured a printed program produced in partnership with Max Solutions/LTI Printing, adding another thoughtful local touch to the evening.

As the program began, the excitement in the room grew, especially knowing that the winners—who received beautifully framed awards created by I’ve Been Framed—would not be revealed until they were announced live on stage. It all came together to create a night that truly reflected the spirit of Jackson’s business community: collaborative, celebratory, and deeply supportive of one another.
