2024 Inside Bellevue Videos

This year's Bellevue Lions Community Picnic at Josten Park on Sunday June 9, 2024 was a fantastic success, bringing together friends and family for a memorable day of fun and community spirit.

Each April, the Village of Bellevue welcomes McAuliffe Elementary School's 3rd-grade students to participate in an Arbor Day tree planting event. This year, on Friday, April 26, 2024, the village was abuzz with activity as Tyler Schiesser, the Village Forester & Parks Foreman, led the proceedings.

As we usher in the new year, January 9th holds a special significance that goes beyond the resolutions and fresh starts. It's a day when we collectively pause to express our gratitude and respect for the brave men and women who tirelessly serve and protect our communities—National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.).

On Saturday, October 21, 2023, the picturesque Josten Park in the Village of Bellevue transformed into a whimsical wonderland for the eagerly anticipated annual Trick-or-Treat Trail. 

Events like Rockin-in-Josten remind us of the power of community, unity, and compassion. It's incredible to see how a shared love for music, fun, and giving back can bring people together, creating lasting memories and inspiring a stronger bond within our village.

A continuation of the Village’s work towards ADA compliance throughout our park system. The path increases accessibility around the perimeter of the playground, and decreases the wear and tear on the turf. As a highly utilized park, the encircled playground area will help maintain & retain the playground surfacing material in place to prevent injury from falls. With a safer environment for park patrons, as well as reduced runoff of the playground surfacing material, provides this project a high return on fun, function, and finances.

The Veteran, Police, Fire & EMT Picnic was held Saturday, September 10, 2022, at Josten Park.  This annual event was sponsored by Proko-Wall Funeral Home, AseraCare, Biebel’s Catering, Wesley Heating and Cooling, and VanRite Plumbing.
