The Bellbrook Lions Club will hold our annual “SummerFest” festival on Friday & Saturday August 22 and 23, 2025 at the old Sugarcreek School at 51 S. East Street, Bellbrook Ohio. The SummerFest begins Friday night and goes from 5 – 11 PM with games, carnival rides, crafts, and lots of great food! There are lots of things to do for kids and adults alike. On Saturday, the Festival will go from 4 – 11 PM, with the parade through downtown Bellbrook starting at 4 PM.
We will have a wonderful beer & wine tent with live music, and great food trailers for Italian sausages, chicken & fries, cotton candy, and last but not least funnel cakes. No one will go home hungry!!
