SUMMARY:Rock the Blue 2026
DESCRIPTION:BBQ • BOURBON • BLUES\nA Community Fundraiser Supporting First Responders \nMark your calendars: The second annual Rock the Blue returns Saturday\, June 6! \nRock the Blue 2026 brings together great food\, curated bourbon\, and live blues music in a fun\, family-friendly atmosphere\, all in support of first responders. \nThis year’s goal is to cover BackStoppers dues for every Belleville Police Officer\, relieving them of that personal expense. Additional funds will be donated to BackStoppers to support first responders and their families where it’s needed most. \nIn 2025\, the event raised over $20\,000 following the Fairview Heights tragedy\, supporting injured officers and their families – reinforcing the purpose behind this growing community event. \nMore than a fundraiser\, Rock the Blue is a visible show of appreciation\, strengthening the bond between the community and public safety. \nNew this year: The event expands to two blocks on East Main Street\, featuring food trucks\, live music\, and more space for the community to come together\, allowing for greater impact than ever.

SUMMARY:Bierstacheln Winter Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for some winter fun as we celebrate our 3rd Bierstacheln (beer stabbing) Winter Festival! Buy a custom half liter mug (or bring your own) and enjoy the old German tradition of warming beer with a campfire heated stainless rod. \nThis hot poking will caramelize residual sugars in the beer\, changing the flavor as well as releasing additional CO2 to enhance the mouthfeel. \nOur dopplebock is specially brewed for the event but feel free to try our other beers\, ciders\, or mead as well! \nEvent is rain or shine and the colder the better!
