Every December a Holiday Parade and Festival is held in downtown Bellport Village. This festive day starts with a "Breakfast with Santa" at the Community Center, followed by numerous winter holiday events in the Village.  A "Soup Contest" is held for local restaurants where Bellport residents are the lucky judges. The Holiday Parade through the Village begins at Browns Lane and South Country Road, and finishes at the steps of the Community Center, where local groups hold sing-a-longs and small concerts. The day concludes with the official tree lighting to kick off the holiday season! 

The 2007 Holiday Festival will be held on Saturday, December 1st.

 

Unfortunately, there wasn't the usual Holiday Parade this year, but the annual tree lighting went on as scheduled on Saturday, December 2nd. Once again Jack Elsworth and his wife Dot were on hand to broadcast the event on WALK radio. The highlight of the event was a performance by the wonderful Bellport High School Gospel Chorale!
