The Belhaven Bizarre

Come, see what the Belhaven Bizarre has to offer for your spirit. You may find something truly special here.

March has always felt like that to me — in like a lion, out like a lamb. A little wild, a little soft, and full of promise in between.

Oh, how I have stained- glass windows. I’m not sure quite when the love started, or if there was even a moment, or rather, something inherent in me that just…. Loves them. In my years, and my love, I have collect- ed so many little things reminiscent of stained-glass windows. Trinkets and treasures from corners of the earth most humans dare not venture. Little window ornaments, those beautiful mosaic glass lights and lanterns, small votive candle holders, larger holders for pillars that I can light up from the inside. I’ve drawn them, I’ve painted them, . I’ve created projects around them, and tributes from them

With the shorter Autumn days, the crisper nights, so too comes a vast array of wonderful and fun events for every age. The local area here is abundant with festivals and fall gatherings, Halloween, football, and fun for all ages. It’s during these first whispers of Fall when we begin planning for the whirl-wind that comes in the bustle of holidays, family recipes, and getting caught up in late-night conversations with loved ones as we finally have an opportunity to catch up.

Our September issue promises to captivate you until the very end. From Kings and Queens, to Tides, Weather and Community Calendar, The Belhaven Bizarre has got you covered!!! This month we have a premier of a new column: Belhaven Remembers. This contribution is brought to you from our Belhaven History Project = a group of passionate souls doing their best to collect, document, and share all things Belhaven. They're always looking for new members. Inquire at the Library if you'd like to get meeting schedule. In addition, there is the MOST EXCITING update on the Museum, and a new game? Always interesting, never predicable, and I hope that it's helpful too! Happy Reading! <3

Just think, a community dwarfed really in numbers of humans, compared to even the last company I ran, would have me taken… so totally taken by its genuine, real-kind of magic that you just don’t find.

If you're wondering where the heart of the Fourth beats strongest in Eastern North Carolina, look no further than Belhaven. Celebrating an incredible 83 consecutive years, our town proudly hosts the oldest Independence Day festivities in the region—and trust us, nobody does it better.

Tucked beside the Pungo River, our little town of Belhaven is starting to buzz—like bees in clover, like boats slipping back into the water at spring’s first tide. Something is happening here, and it’s more than just coincidence. It’s momentum. It’s magic. It’s Belhaven.

Belhaven is rolling out the welcome mat once again for its 63rd Annual Alumni Homecoming—an ongoing celebration that turns the town into a living yearbook. With a tradition of constant connection, this unique reunion stretches

We are still getting our act together over here on Main St. at Glitter & Grace, but, if you haven’t stopped in to check us out yet, you really should. April is our 6th MONTH that we’ve been opened here, and what a whirlwind it’s been!
