It would have seemed impossible in the Victorian Era, but 21^st Century innovation means that even in the age of pandemic, the “show” can go on: Belvidere’s Victorian Days are going virtual this year.

On Sept. 12 and 13, join the Belvidere Heritage Group live on Facebook or on its website for a weekend full of free live and pre-recorded video streams featuring music, crafts, entertainment, and historical talks fit for the whole family.

In addition to the live-stream events, seven virtual historical house tours will be posted throughout the weekend. The annual Car Show will still be held in-person, with cars spaced through Belvidere’s Garret D. Wall Park to promote distancing.
