26th Annual Family-Owned Business Awards: All in the Family

On May 30, more than 300 people gathered at the Irvine Marriott to celebrate the Business Journal’s 26th annual Family-Owned Business Awards.

The event honors Orange County-based family-owned firms that have distinguished themselves via their business accomplishments and contributions to the local community in five categories: Small Business, Medium Business, Large Business, Up-and-Coming, and Longevity. Keynote speaker Ron Salisbury regaled the crowd with stories about the 100 years of El Cholo restaurants.

Below is a collection of photos from the event. Plan to attend the next event, Innovator of the Year Awards, on Sept. 12.
