Dubuque Area Chamber Celebrates Manufacturing Week May 9-13

The Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce celebrates local manufacturing. It offers an incredible opportunity to visit area businesses for a behind-the-scenes tour to see how it all comes together. 

May 9-13 is Manufacturing Appreciation Week. The Chamber has comprehensive tours to area manufacturers scheduled on May 10th and May 12th. Discover the impact manufacturers have on our community through a one or two-day business tour.

Getting this rare, up-close, and unique perspective is indispensable for understanding and recognizing area manufacturers' products, jobs, employment opportunities, and economic impact. 

Both tours include transportation and lunch and go from 8 am to 5 pm, ending at Stone Cliff Winery and Dimensional Brewing.
