Voting ends Aug. 4!

The concept of the Local Best is simple — locals vote for their favorite places in more than 200 categories in a secure, online survey. Only local votes count. A maximum of five nominees in each category are awarded the title of a The Local Best winner. Winners must be in the top 20% of the total nominees of their category. If a category has less than 25 nominees, there are fewer than 5 winners.

How can we recommend (and recognize) the awesome businesses at Lake Lorraine? Voting is open year round in the annual Local Best contest. The deadline for 2025-26 is Monday, Aug. 4. Anyone over the age of 13 can vote. See the full list of recommended businesses and categories.

Use the list of Lake Lorraine businesses to help you vote in the appropriate categories. Why participate? Help elevate our Lake Lorraine community to encourage more people to shop, dine, utilize our service providers and experience the Lake Lorraine community!
