Due to recent events and the ongoing implications of COVID-19, this year’s July 1 event will differ from previous years.

The Belleville Chamber of Commerce will move ahead with their second annual Drive-By Procession and Recognition Event to pay tribute to frontline workers and local community heroes.

The small Hearts for Heroes procession will pass by local long-term care facilities and the Belleville General Hospital along its route, in recognition of residents, patients and frontline workers in Belleville. Participants will include fire, EMS and police vehicles, as well as corporate representatives and private individuals.

The procession will leave West Zwick’s Park at 12 pm, following our Community Heroes dedication at the Belleville sign (starting around 10:00 am). Gathering limits need to be observed – we hope you enjoy the procession from your front yard if you are able!
