Belleville Winterfest
The Belleville Area Winterfest turns downtown Belleville into a beautiful winter wonderland during the first weekend of December, transforming Main Street and 4th Street Square into a festive hub of holiday activity. December 3-6, 2026, the entire celebration feels straight out of a holiday movie, drawing locals and visitors alike to gather along the decorated streets for several days of community tradition.
The highlight of the festival is the nighttime light parade held Saturday, December 5th, where elaborate floats, local organizations, and illuminated vehicles line Main Street competing for awards like Most Enthusiastic. Immediately following the parade, a massive fireworks display lights up the sky over downtown and Santa comes to visit! Saturday is also a fun day of Holiday shopping and food trucks from 11am to 9pm so be sure to arrive hungry!
