Benicia Chamber of Commerce

A little look back... and a lot to look forward to!
Benicia has changed over the years, but the heart of this community hasn't. We paired a 1980's glimpse of our town with moments from Benicia Oktoberfest today - and it's a beautiful reminder that some things only get better with time.
The faces may change, the years may pass, but the spirit of Benicia lives on.
Benicia Oktoberfest September 19th
Gates open at 10:30am

Benicia First Street Green
Come celebrate the past, enjoy the present, and make a few memories for the future.

Benicia Women’s Business Group — Join Us!
A reminder that our next Benicia Women’s Business Group meeting is happening Wednesday, August 26th, from 5–6 PM at Caring Transitions.

This is the first time we are offering the group in the evening, and we’re excited to create an opportunity for more women to join us after the workday.

Why does connection matter? Because we don’t have to build our businesses alone. Connecting with other women business owners creates opportunities for referrals, collaboration, mentorship, shared resources, encouragement, and relationships that can help our businesses—and our community—grow.

Wednesday, August 26th
5–6 PM
Caring Transitions
602 West K Street, Benicia

We’d love to see you there. Bring a business friend and come connect with us.
