Whether you are planning your first visit, coming home to see family, returning to your favorite vacation spot, or one of our friendly local residents, we invite you to use this directory as your resource for all that Lancaster County has to offer. Situated within the county you’ll find Kilmarnock, White Stone, Lively and Irvington, each with their own individual charm, offering an array of shopping and dining options. Surrounded by the peaceful waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Rappahannock River, Lancaster County offers the perfect blend of coastal living and small town charm.

The Lancaster by the Bay Chamber is supported by a dynamic and active membership, representing a variety of businesses that serve our visitors and friends and of course those who call the Northern Neck home. We have something special to offer in Lancaster County and the Chamber plays a key role in supporting our businesses and strengthening our community. With our rich history, quaint dining, fresh seafood, eclectic shopping, and unique lodging options, we invite you to explore, indulge and enjoy! The year is filled with a variety of “By the Bay” events that appeal to all ages and interests. To kick off the summer we have our Golf Classic, held at The Golden Eagle Golf Course. You’ll find us each month serving beer and wine for the music events at the Kilmarnock Town Centre Park. Stop by and explore a local business at our monthly After Hours networking events. In October, Kandy for Kids offers a safe and friendly environment for Halloween fun on Main Street in Kilmarnock. Our signature event, Taste by the Bay hosted by the beautiful Tides Inn in Irvington includes tastings from Virginia wineries and Virginia craft breweries, sampling of culinary delights from local restaurants, live music and of course plenty of shopping, just in time for the holidays. We round out the year with the Kilmarnock Lighted Christmas Parade, the oldest lighted Christmas parade in the state of Virginia.
