Things to do in Belleville
The small town of Belleville has it all: a lively historic downtown, a waterfront setting that provides a plethora of recreational amenities and attractions, and a burgeoning arts and culture scene, with something for everyone. Start your tour downtown with its rows of historic buildings housing a year-round farmer’s market, cafés, boutiques, and shops. There are many annual events held here, including “Enchanted” during the holiday season, “Downtown at Dusk,” a festival to celebrate the summer solstice, and “Porchfest Belleville,” a September evening in the charming East Hill neighbourhood where residents showcase their musical talent on their front porches. “Pop-Ups on the Bay” is another popular and fun summer food and drink festival at West Zwick’s Park on the waterfront. A little farther east, the Glanmore National Historic Site of Canada is one of the town’s treasures, both a preserved home, museum, and a place to explore your inner child through a toymaker time machine. If you are a nature lover, be sure to visit Potter’s Creek Conservation Area with its seven kilometres of looping trails, or the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, which meanders through the town and alongside Zwick’s Island.
