Chamber of Commerce

About The Chamber

The Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce supports local businesses, strengthens the community, and promotes Bigfork as a place to live, work, and visit.

The Bigfork Area Chamber of Commerce is the official visitor and business resource for Bigfork, Montana. We’re a member-driven organization of 400+ local businesses and community partners working together to support a thriving local economy.

Through the Bigfork Visitor Center, our website, and community events, we connect visitors with trusted local information and help our members succeed through networking, promotion, and business support. We also encourage members to get involved through committees and community activities, because Bigfork is a community built by volunteers.

Most importantly, Chamber membership supports the work that keeps Bigfork welcoming and strong as a year-round destination.
