Just like in the old vaudevillian days, "If it plays in Peoria, It Plays!". The oldest community in Illinois, Peoria is equal distance from Chicago and St. Louis. Here we have our own symphony, our own ballet, Broadway Theater League, museums, art guilds, first-class medical facilities that are a regional draw, the Nation’s oldest community theater and the Nation’s oldest Santa Claus parade.
Our vibrant riverfront showcases a multitude of festivals and celebrations that light up the summer nights much like our extraordinary Fourth of July Skyconcert….a fireworks show that draws well over 100,000 annually and is now the largest in the state!
We are proud to be the site of the world headquarters of Caterpillar, Inc., but we have many global businesses that allow Peoria to play all over the World through their products and services. Peoria has begun to diversify its economy with infotech industries as well. Thus our business community attracts some of the brightest graduates throughout the nation.
We have a great mix of people from all walks of life and we are using Pecha Kucha to help bring all of these people together 20 seconds at a time.
