Chamber story
Serving Georgetown and the surrounding areas since 1979.
The Georgetown Chamber was formed in 1979 to serve the business community in Georgetown and surrounding areas. We connect businesses with purpose through warm introductions, advocacy, and trusted relationships, helping members feel welcome, visible, and supported.
Community life
History, festivals, culture, and connection.
Georgetown has a rich history dating back to the early 1600s. Return Day began as a way to bring people together to hear election results and has grown into a uniquely popular event held every two years. Georgetown is also home to award-winning Wings & Wheels, the annual Juneteenth Celebration at the Richard Allen School, and the Annual Hispanic Festival on Race Street. Local history continues through the Georgetown Historical Society, the Historic Train Station, Treasures by the Sea, the Delaware Aviation Museum, and museums honoring train, telephone, Civil War, and military history. With The Circle at its center, Georgetown offers the full circle of opportunity: business meets community, history meets progress, culture meets connection, and residents find opportunity and belonging.
