You’ve seen how Chatham works. Now, come experience how Chatham welcomes, creates, celebrates, and connects.

Created especially for past participants of the #ThisIsChatham Bus Tour, the new #VisitChatham Bus Tour is part reunion, part countywide adventure, and the perfect way to kick off the fall season in Chatham County.

Reconnect with fellow tour alumni as we travel together to some of the people, places, and experiences that make Chatham an unforgettable place to visit. Along the way, you’ll meet local leaders, discover one-of-a-kind destinations, get an inside look at beloved fall traditions, and find new reasons to shop, dine, explore, and support local.

From rescued tigers and internationally recognized pottery to orchids, local food, handmade gifts, and one of Chatham County’s most celebrated festivals, this full-day experience is designed to help you rediscover Chatham through the eyes of a visitor.
