Annual Bastrop Chamber of Commerce Banquet

Be a part of Bastrop Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet! On January 12, 2024, we will celebrate the successes of 2023 with a fun racing themed event. As the Grand Marshal starts the evening, we will also give our members a look at what the coming year will bring to the Bastrop business community. This prestigious evening and signature event is full of fun, socializing, and the recognition of the Businesses of the Year, Emerging Business of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, Woman & Man of the Year, and the Lifetime Achievement honors. The event begins with a social hour and auction followed by dinner, a victory lap for the award winners, and program.
