Greater Blytheville Area Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to the Greater Blytheville Area Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to Blytheville, Arkansas and the Greater Blytheville Area Chamber of Commerce. Often called the “gateway to the Arkansas Delta,” Blytheville combines the charms of small-town living with the accessibility of big city amenities, which are a mere hour away!

The historic downtown area offers boutique shopping, along with clothing stores, books, shoes and great bargains. All around town, you can enjoy superb accommodations at award-winning hotels. Fine food is abundant, from our classic pork barbeque to ethnic delights and gourmet dining.

Steel-making and cotton-growing are two professions held in high esteem in this northeast corner of Arkansas. As the second leading steel producer in the nation, the area also is among leading agricultural producers for cotton and soy beans.

And the best thing: Everywhere you go, you can expect a level of friendliness and warmth that only true Southern hospitality can offer.

Travel our site. We are here to help you find whatever you need and we would love to have you stop by for a visit!

Summer's End
As summer slows in the Mississippi Delta, fall activities rev up. School is back in session and most vacations are over. It is about time for Arkansas football too! At the Chamber we are jumping into fall activities starting with the Light Up Blytheville campaign. Volunteers will run a check on area business lighting; we will notify our businesses of their findings, then those same volunteers will help the City of Blytheville by scouring the town for non-working street lights. The program culminates National Night Out October 4, when we urge citizens to turn on outside lights for better safety!

September 24 marks the second annual Color Fun 5K. Register at racesonline.com/events/color-fun-run, and plant to start at 8 a.m. at the Chamber and run a beautiful downtown route. Color will splash and fun will happen!

The Chamber of Commerce leadership class gets started in September, with 32 members. Here they are and we wish them a great fall!
