Business After Hours at Wiscasset Yacht Club with Wiscasset Parks & Rec

Friday, September 18, 2026, 5:00-8:00 pm

2 Water Street, Wiscasset

The Wiscasset Area Chamber of Commerce invites our members, neighbors and area business people to the September Business After Hours, co-hosted by the Wiscasset Yacht Club and Wiscasset Parks and Recreation.

Join us as we reconvene by the water after a busy summer! Enjoy drinks, appetizers, trivia and a fire pit. All that's missing is you. (Yes! It’s a high tide - we checked!)

Business After Hours events are a great opportunity to network with other business professionals and neighbors. Bring your business card to put your name in to win a door prize, and cash to participate in the 50/50 raffle.

To help with planning purposes, please RSVP no later than Wednesday, September 16 for this event by contacting the Chamber at info@wiscassetchamber.com, by calling 207-882-9600 or register online: wiscassetchamber.com/event/

To learn more about Wiscasset Yacht Club, visit wiscassetyc.com. Keep updated about Wiscasset Parks and Recreation at wiscassetme.myrec.com.

**We'll be at First National Bank in Wiscasset on October 22 for the next Business After Hours - save the date! And we have openings for November - get in touch if you would like to host!**

Upcoming Retirements

Make sure to stop in soon to see David & Lois at The Butterstamp Workshop and Datvik at Water Lily Flowers & Gifts to wish them all a happy retirement.

The Butterstamp Workshop will close mid-October (after what we hear has been a very busy summer!) and Water Lily Flowers & Gifts will close sometime this fall. We have been so fortunate to have these businesses as part of our downtown, and to have these members contributing to the craft and beauty in our community. We wish you well and will miss you!
