What do I wear?
This year’s Roaring ’20s theme pays tribute to an era known for its elegance, optimism, and celebration of progress. Just as the 1920s embraced bold ideas and new opportunities, we gather to honor the remarkable people and businesses whose passion, excellence, and commitment are helping Madison County flourish today. Join us for an unforgettable evening of recognition, community, and timeless glamour as we celebrate the very best of Madison County.
We encourage guests to dress in formal or semi-formal attire, or embrace the spirit of the evening by incorporating Roaring ’20s-inspired fashion into their look. Whether you choose timeless elegance or vintage glamour, this is your chance to look your best, feel your best, and enjoy an unforgettable evening of celebration.
Classic colors such as black, gold, silver, champagne, and emerald green perfectly complement the event’s theme and create a sophisticated atmosphere worthy of honoring Madison County’s finest.

Made In Madison Auction
One of the highlights of the Best of Madison County Awards is our Made in Madison Live & Silent Auction, a celebration of the talented businesses, artisans, makers, growers, and service providers who call Madison County home.
Guests will have the opportunity to bid on a unique collection of locally made products, handcrafted items, gift packages, experiences, and services that showcase the very best of our community. Every item tells a story and highlights the creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit found right here in Madison County.
Proceeds from the auction directly support the Madison County Chamber of Commerce and help fund community events, programs, and initiatives that strengthen our local economy and enhance the quality of life throughout our county.
