Eat, Shop, Play is new and improved in 2026!
Starting in January 2026 we will launch a new version of our EAT, SHOP, PLAY feature, now also including employment and education info, as an eBlast two Thursdays a month, encouraging our community to "Think Local First". The first eBlast will launch on Thursday, January 29.
To be included in an "Eat, Shop, Play" eBlast, please forward your announcement to slockhart@lflbchamber.com by close of the business day on Tuesday of the desired week. The information should be sent in the form of a flyer that clearly identifies your business, the relevant announcement info and the appropriate link(s) for further information.
(Please note, we are unable to design flyers for individual businesses -- graphics and info must be sent to us ready to be dropped into the eBlast. If you have any questions please email Sarah.)

2026 Business & Government Breakfast Recap
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the annual Chamber Business and Government Luncheon. This sold out crowd enjoyed a wonderful update on the "state of the towns" and enjoyed a special presentation of the annual Chamber Community Leadership Award, which was presented this year the Citadel Theatre for their outstanding contributions and support of our communities and the arts.
Please enjoy video recordings of the 2026 Business and Government Luncheon and award presentation courtesy of Bruce Himmelblau, Blue Sky Video Productions and a beautiful gallery of photos courtesy of Michael Delott, Michael Delott Photography and Headshots.
The Mission of the LF/LB Chamber is to connect and unite businesses, community members and both municipalities through partnership and innovative strategies to ensure the current and future prosperity of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, the extraordinary place we work, play and call home.
