Orleans Chamber’s Silent Auction returning to 2026 Dogwood Festival

ORLEANS – The Orleans Chamber of Commerce will once again be sponsoring its ever-popular Silent Auction in conjunction with this year’s 56th Annual Orleans Dogwood Festival. Approximately 350 to 500 guests will pass through the Silent Auction during festival week.

Silent Auction items will be on open display daily at the Orleans Christian Church Unity Hall beginning April 23rd through Parade Day, Saturday, April 25th.

All contributors will be recognized for their donations in area newspapers, area radio, and our social media outlets, etc. Proceeds benefit the Chamber’s continual sponsorship of the town’s signature Dogwood Festival, and several community enhancement type projects throughout the year, including seasonal decorations in historic Congress Square, lamp pole banners, planters and benches, and concerts in the park, etc.

Donated items may be dropped off at the town hall, mailed to the Orleans Chamber’s P.O. Box 9, or request a pickup from a chamber volunteer. Be sure to attach your business card or name to your donated item so we can help promote your business.
