Peoria’s Old Town Holiday Festival, held annually in either late November or early December, spreads enough holiday cheer to put even Ebenezer Scrooge in the spirit of the season. From cookie decorating and caroling, to wagon rides, shopping, and a visit from Jolly Old Saint Nick himself, this party provides the perfect start to the holidays.

With nearly 20 tons of snow delivered straight from the North Pole, a creative craft market and tasty holiday treats like kettle corn, roasted almonds and fresh tamales, Peoria’s Old Town Holiday Festival is a celebration of time-treasured traditions and family fun. The festival will be going on from 5 – 10pm, Friday, December 2, 2016 in Old Town Peoria, Peoria and Grand Avenues.
