2009 Calendar...Whatever the Season, Belvidere's Events Invite You to Explore our Town.
Year round, there's lots to see and do in Belvidere. Whether you are a history buff, an antique shopper, an outdoors seeker, a patron of the theatre, a lover of gardens, or a student of the Victorian Era, it's here for you. Please browse through our Calendar to check out what's already happened and what is ahead!
Spring
- Trout Fishing Competition, April 11 Saturday, 8:30 AM to Noon. The Second Annual "Get Hooked on Belvidere" Trout Fishing Tournament is a Springtime highlight. Over seventy anglers trolled the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers and enjoyed a local Spring time tradition. Cash prizes exceeding $700 were offered for the biggest catch. The haul was especially rich since New Jersey's fish hatchery is just up the road. Each registrant received a special event T-shirt. Mark your 2010 calendar for this April treat. Call 908 475 4803 to register. And, to check out the fun of the 2009 Tournament, click here.
