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.

The Bellbrook Lions Club raises money annually for Bellbrook youth programs impacting over 350 youths.
