Celebrating 40 Years of Community, Connection, & Business in Lincoln

This year, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce proudly celebrated a major milestone: 40 years of supporting local businesses and strengthening our community. To mark the occasion, we hosted a 40th Birthday Party that brought together members, families, and residents from across Lincoln for a day full of connection, celebration, and local pride.

A Community Celebration to Remember

Rotary Park was full of activity as guests enjoyed live music, yoga, kids’ activities, giveaways, and delicious bites from food trucks. The event featured an incredible lineup of local vendors, wineries, and community organizations—each showcasing what makes Lincoln such a welcoming place to live and do business.

Our vendors included:

From small businesses offering samples and giveaways, to families relaxing on the grass and kids lining up for balloon animals, it was a wonderful snapshot of what community looks like in Lincoln.
