Peoria County Bicentennial

10/04/25 03:00PM - 07:00PM

A 200th anniversary calls for a party! We're closing down Adams and Main St. and celebrating with a Bicentennial Block Party. Make plans to join us with friends and family to enjoy this milestone event.

 Enjoy the renovated plaza and see more than 20 of our decorated bison sculptures all in one place - plus you'll be the first to see our newest member of the herd

 Taste a special 200th whiskey cocktail from BLACK BAND Distillery or enjoy a beer from Industry Brewing

 Enjoy food from local restaurants based in Peoria County

 Family fun will abound with a giant slide, rock wall, petting zoo, and some throwback games

 Multiple Pop-a-Shots will be set up to challenge your friends - plus you could win one to take home!

 Play bags as you listen to the cover band Maggie Speaks into the evening

 Come early to hear a Civil War band and an Abraham Lincoln impersonator bring history to life

 To finish the evening, we'll turn on the new Courthouse lights for the first time

*All activities are free; food and drink will be available for purchase.  More info...
