Bona Fide Bellevue Programs & Initiatives
With a variety of events, programs, and initiatives, there’s something for everybody throughout the year!
Improve The Vue
Improve the Vue focuses on community involvement in neighborhood upkeep and improvement. In addition to the annual Improv the Vue initiative, the committee volunteers work on a periodic basis to improve the quality of Bellevue streets, parks, businesses, and homes.
Farmers Market
The Bellevue Farmers Market started in 2017 under the direction of a group of residents. They realized a charming, walkable community like Bellevue, PA deserved to have a market that was as exciting and dynamic as the town itself. Bellevue Farmers Market, a project of Bona Fide Bellevue, is a community nexus, bringing together food, families, and fun in a way that is accessible to all!
Bona Fide Bellevue Events
Good tunes and tasty brews at the Rhythm & Brews Festival, local art and fine wines at Bellevue’s Art & Wine Crawl, historical charm and architecture at the Live Worship Shop House Tour, and family fun (and spiked hot chocolate) at Light Up Bellevue! Bona Fide Bellevue brings it all to you.
Bellevue History and Historic Preservation
Bellevue is a borough flush with well over 1,000 turn of the century homes and buildings rich with character and charm. Learn more about our borough’s historical significance.
Bellevue Gardens
Since 2016 Bona Fide Bellevue has cultivated a public herb garden free to all to “pinch what you need, use what you pinch.” As our garden space continues to expand and we offer memberships in the Bellevue Friendship Garden, we’re always looking for those willing to lend a green thumb.
Bellevue’s Active Transportation Committee
Bona Fide Bellevue’s Active Transportation Committee promotes safe and accessible walking and biking through education, policy, and planning. In partnership with the Borough, the committee worked closely with Borough staff and community stakeholders to support the development of Bellevue in Motion, the Borough’s Active Transportation Plan, and continues to support its implementation through ongoing collaboration and monthly public meetings.
Scholarship Programs
Bona Fide Bellevue offers two scholarship programs to recognize and support graduating students whose unique perspectives, potential, or nontraditional paths deserve encouragement. These scholarships reflect our commitment to inclusion, personal growth, and the belief that every student has something valuable to contribute to the world.
