The votes are in, the stickers are out, and the most beloved businesses in town are about to be celebrated in style. The Best of Morgantown issue from Morgantown Magazine is officially hot off the presses—and this year’s celebration promises to be the biggest (and boldest) one yet.
Set for Wednesday, February 26 at Hotel Morgan, this year’s Best of Morgantown party is doubling as the Morgantown Area Partnership’s Business After Hours event for the month. That means Partnership members can snag discounted tickets—just check your email from the Partnership for the promo code and link.
101 categories. Over 1,500 nominations. One epic night.
This community-driven awards program celebrates local favorites across 101 categories—everything from best mechanic to best pizza, best bakery, and best real estate agent. The winners are chosen entirely by the community, and once those signature “BOM” stickers go up in windows, you know exactly where the locals love to go.
The event itself is known as one of the best parties in town, and it sells out fast. This year’s theme? The ‘80s. So bring the big hair, tracksuits, and leg warmers—yes, really.
Doors open at 5 p.m., and attendees can expect:
- A live DJ
- The full reveal of all Best of Morgantown winners
- Plenty of chances to connect, dance, and celebrate with your community
But don’t wait until the day of—pre-ordered tickets are required, and no walk-ins will be accepted due to limited space.

Celebrating small businesses, together
Morgantown Magazine has been a long-time partner of the Morgantown Area Partnership, and events like this show why: Both organizations believe in uplifting the small businesses that power our community.
“They really understand that our small businesses are the economic engine of our community,” said Nikki Bowman-Mills, Editor-in-Chief of New South Media. “And they’re always looking for ways to celebrate and elevate them.”
Whether you’re one of this year’s winners or just want to support your local favorites, this party is your chance to join the celebration—and help honor the people and places that make Morgantown shine.
See you there!
