PaliBu Chamber Recovery Expo: Advancing Rebuilding Across Malibu & Pacific Palisades
The Malibu–Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the PaliBu Recovery Expo, taking place on Saturday, May 16, 2026. This quarterly event brings together homeowners, renters, business owners, building professionals, and regional agencies to support ongoing rebuilding and long-term recovery efforts across Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and surrounding fire-impacted communities.
Admission is free and open to the public—no tickets required.
The Recovery Expo offers a dynamic, one-stop environment where attendees can connect directly with rebuild professionals, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and wellness practitioners. A series of public “Ask the Experts” panels will provide attendees with practical guidance across all phases of rebuilding and recovery.
A Community-Centered Approach to Recovery
Designed to serve Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and communities impacted by the Franklin, Woolsey, and Palisades fires, the Expo connects residents and business owners with the experts, civic agencies, and nonprofits working to support recovery at every level.
Attendees will have access to a wide range of resources, including:
- Rebuilding & Construction Resources
Meet architects, contractors, engineers, and material suppliers offering guidance on permitting, fire-resistant building, and project sequencing. - Business & Economic Support
Access grants, technical assistance, and tools to help businesses reopen, restore revenue, and navigate insurance challenges. - Direct Agency Access
Engage with City, County, and State representatives to receive real-time answers on infrastructure, permitting, and assistance programs.
In addition to technical and professional resources, the Expo will feature live entertainment, a dedicated Kids Zone, and a specialized Wellness Section focused on supporting the broader health and well-being of the community.
A New Quarterly Tradition
Recognizing that rebuilding is a long-term journey, the PaliBu Chamber has established the Recovery Expo as a recurring quarterly event. Each Expo will introduce new vendors, emerging construction technologies, and expanded wellness and recovery programming—ensuring that residents and businesses have continuous access to evolving resources and support.
An Invitation to the Community
All those impacted by the fires—and those working to support the recovery—are encouraged to attend. Whether you are a homeowner, renter, contractor, or civic partner, the PaliBu Recovery Expo is designed for everyone with a stake in rebuilding our communities with intention, resilience, and care.
