Free one-hour dance and movement classes at Lions Pavillion in Zwick’s Park, Belleville on Thursday July 17 and Thursday August 21 from 10:30 to 11:30am. Designed for people living with Parkinson’s or mobility issues. All are welcome – family and friends too. No experience or pre-registration needed. Email parkinsonsdance@quinteballetschool.com
Want to get outside, meet your neighbours, and explore Belleville by bike?
Us, too.
So BOQ.BIKE put our heads together with our friends at The Fit Collective to bring you a new bi-weekly Thursday Night Ride Series, open to everyone – no membership required.
Think Belleville’s bad for biking? We’re here to prove the opposite.
TL;DR:
Every other Thursday evening (starting June 5)
Meet at 6:20, wheels down at 6:30 PM
Start location: The Fit Collective, 199 Front Street (gym entrance on Bridge)
Riding time: 60–90 minutes
Distance: 15–25 km depending on the week (conversational pace, no one left behind)
What to expect: Casual, social riding on in-town routes, great conversation, new friends, and a fun way to dip your toes into an active lifestyle. You might find yourself keeping the good times going by popping into the Lark or Kafana post-ride!
These are “no drop” rides – no one will be left behind, and we’ll stop often to regroup. All bike types are welcome, and riders must show up for the ride ready and self-sufficient, which means your bike is in working condition, and you have your helmet, bell, lights, water, snacks, and a positive attitude.
RSVP
The Fit Collective x bayofquinte.bike rides are open to the public and no membership or RSVP is required before arrival.
Waiver: https://boq.bike/waiver – Please sign before attending your first ride.
Want to join the club? Download Ride With GPS, create an account, then visit: https://ridewithgps.com/organizations/6600-bayofquinte-bike/join
Acoustic Jam at Meyers Creek Brewing – We have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing musically inclined people who love to play but are looking for something more casual and cooperative than an our open mic format.
Soo join us for our unplugged jam sessions led by our very own staff member River. Whether it’s a guitar, mandolin, cajon, ukelele, or other acoustic instrument players of all skill levels are welcome, or just come to listen and sing along!
So how’s a jam different? – A “jam” is any music played without preparation beforehand. This might mean that the music is undefined, or simply that the running order and the musicians are.

A founding member of acts such as Dream Seer, Bad Habit, The Aventurines, and Melody Machine, and has remained rooted in the worlds of garage rock and psychedelia across his projects.
