Rotary Arts and Crafts Sale
Belleville Waterfront and Ethnic Festival

The Belleville Rotary Club hosts an annual Arts and Crafts Sale, which has become a major draw for the popular Belleville Waterfront and Ethnic Festival, the largest single event in the Belleville area, attracting over 50,000 visitors annually.

This event, which has become a major fund-raiser for the club, also offers excellent public exposure for Rotary. In 2002, we added a Rotary information kiosk to enhance public awareness of our mission, activities and contributions to the community.

The juried sale attracts over 70 vendors from across Canada and features approximately 25 local artists. We have become recognized for our excellent and courteous service provided in both set-up and during the show.

The event is housed in large tents in West Zwicks Park adjacent to the Children's Village, the Ethnic Food Festival and the Midway. Our Rotary effort is divided into sales and marketing, construction, dismantling and our Rotary "Ambassadors" who are present at all times during the three day mid July event.
