Quartzsite Chamber Posts Winter Event Schedule Ahead of Busy January

The Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce this week published its winter events calendar and visitor information covering the first half of January, establishing schedules and practical guidance for a concentrated period of community and tourism activity. The calendar lists the Chamber annual meeting on January 8, 2026, Camelpalooza at the Judge George Hagely adobe site from January 9–11, and the Hi Jolly Parade on January 10, 2026, which will proceed along Moon Mountain Avenue. The Chamber also notes ongoing monthly member meetings, Big Tent and RV show-related activities, and craft and vendor markets during the winter visitation season.

These events come at the height of Quartzsite’s seasonal population surge, when winter visitors and RV campers bolster local commerce but also increase demand on roadways, parking and municipal services. The Chamber’s calendar functions as the principal local events listing and includes operational details intended to help residents, vendors and entrants plan: parade route maps and staging instructions, vendor and entrant forms, and parking maps and schedules are posted and maintained on the Chamber page.

For local businesses and vendors, Camelpalooza and the surrounding markets represent both customer opportunities and logistical challenges. Vendor and entrant forms posted by the Chamber establish the administrative framework for participation; those forms and the parking guidance are tools that organizers and local government can use to manage traffic flow and public safety during concentrated event days. The annual Chamber meeting on January 8 will also provide a forum where members and local stakeholders can discuss the season’s operational concerns and economic outlook.

The concentration of scheduled activities underscores the need for clear coordination among civic institutions in La Paz County, the Chamber and community organizations. Accessible, up-to-date event listings and maps reduce uncertainty for residents who live near event corridors and for emergency planners who must account for increased visitation. They also improve transparency for taxpayers by clarifying how public space and traffic patterns will be used during major community events.

Residents and visitors seeking specifics on staging, vendor registration and parking are directed to the Quartzsite Chamber’s event postings for forms and maps. As Quartzsite moves into one of its busiest weeks of the year, effective information sharing will determine whether the schedule delivers economic benefit while minimizing disruption to daily life in La Paz County.
