You can see it taking shape this week: downtown Belleville, especially around Public Square, is about to be transformed for the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday season.

The community is setting up for Christkindlmarkt and Santa’s House. Soon we’ll have the Gingerbread Cookie Walk and the Santa Parade. It’s another season of special events in downtown Belleville.

Whether it’s the Shriner’s Parade, Art on the Square, Oktoberfest, you name it, Belleville loves its special events, its parades, its festivals.

Which bring us to this question: What is your favorite special event in downtown Belleville?

Vote for your favorite in our Belleville special events poll. This poll is for fun. It’s not meant to be scientific, and you can vote as many times as you want. We’ll keep the poll open until Nov. 24, then we’ll report the results.

For those of you who don’t participate in Belleville events, don’t worry. We’ll ask about favorite events in other towns down the road.
