To what do our wandering eyes appear? Is it once again that wonderful time of year??

Yes! Santa will be returning to Steamboat Landing Park on the waterfront in Belfast on Saturday, December 11th from 11am - 12pm and 12:30pm - 1:30pm!

The event will take place in the Boathouse or along the Harborwalk, depending on weather. Children will be able to collect a take home cookie kit from Delvino's and ornament kit from Cornerspring Montesorri School, while reading along a StoryWalk provided by Belfast Free Library. Enjoy horse drawn family wagon rides, live carolers, and don't forget the hot chocolate provided by Waldo Community Action Partners!
December Business After Hours Cancelled

After some thoughtful discussion with our Board, we have decided to not have the Business After Hours in December. Many thanks to Norm Poirier from Belfast Parks & Recreation Dept. for working to have the boathouse available.

While disappointing to not continue in person events at this moment, we were very excited to see many of you at the Shrine Club in November! We are looking ahead at our 2022 BAH schedule and hope to see you all again soon!
