Free, family-friendly celebrations that bring Old Bellevue to life all year
For years, the Old Bellevue Merchants Association has brought neighbors, families, and local businesses together through free community events across all four seasons. Every event below is free to attend, welcoming thousands of children and families into the heart of Old Bellevue.
Our longest-running spring tradition — a free family celebration that fills Main Street with springtime fun. A neighborhood favorite for years before the pandemic, it has returned every year since 2022 and keeps growing.
A free evening celebration of local food, makers, and live music in the heart of Old Bellevue, drawing neighbors out to shop, taste, and gather together.
A season of free youth and family activities, from soccer skills and hands-on making to family games, keeping children active and engaged all summer long.
A free, family-friendly Halloween celebration along Main Street, with trick-or-treating, activities, and community fun for children of all ages.
A free holiday tradition launched in 2025, bringing families to Old Bellevue across December Saturdays to celebrate the season together.
Our 2026 summer programming reached roughly 2,774 participants across the season and earned commendations from the Bellevue Fire and Police Departments. These free events are made possible by dozens of local volunteers and neighborhood businesses, in partnership with the City of Bellevue.
