Welcome to The Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce |
Welcome to the Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. Come on in and look through our site. We will tell you about our region, our members and our businesses. If you have any questions or need more information we have provided you ways to contact us. We are a growing chamber with 200 members and enjoy being active.
We welcome new businesses downtown and in our industrial park and work hard to continue supporting our established businesses.
Our area has lots to do. You can shop, hike, canoe, kayak, enjoy a movie, eat ice cream and relax with a great cup of coffee. Want to take your boat out, or take a day cruise we can help you arrange that. In the winter you can snow shoe, cross country ski and use the snowmobile trails. Reading is important in Maine and our bookstore is first class. Just don’t sit on the cats chair! We have great places to stay and relaxed dining.
The Bucksport Bay Festival, Stockton Spring’s 150th year birthday party, Orland River Day, The Pumpkin Fest in Blue Hill, Searsport’s Fling into Fall, Spirit of the Holidays, are all events to enjoy this year.
There are many opportunities to volunteer and clubs to join. So enjoy your tour of our site and come visit us at 52 Main Street, Bucksport, Maine. |
