The Bullhead Belle was donated to the City of Bullhead City by Brea and Trevor Chiodini of Laughlin River Tours when it was retired from its life as The Celebration, a 65-foot mock paddle wheel boat. The Celebration was built in 1966, and set off on its maiden voyage in May of 1977. It carried nearly 1,000,000 passengers up and down the Colorado River as a touring restaurant and special event venue. The Celebration was retired in December of 2022, and begins its new life as the Bullhead Belle in August 2023. The Belle is a riverside concession stand and special event venue, taking advantage of its new location on land to expand its serving capacity to a two-tiered patio overlooking the Colorado River in Bullhead City’s scenic Community Park. With it’s new life, the Belle will continue it’s tradition of service on the river as a preserved piece of Bullhead’s history. –Photo courtesy of Bullhead City
