PEORIA'S OLDTOWN HOLIDAY FESTIVAL
 

December 5, 2008
5:00pm – 9:00pm
Oldtown Peoria
83rd Ave just south of Grand

 
Nothing will get you into the spirit of the season quicker than a visit to the Oldtown Holiday Festival. With carolers strolling about, the soft glow of the lighted trees, the smell of roasted almonds and kettle korn, the chill from the snow… That’s right, SNOW!

Nearly 20 tons of snow is brought in from the “North Pole” for kids young and old to play in. There’s also a high school choral competition, cookie decorating, make-n-take crafts, magicians, jugglers and so much more!

If you’re looking for a unique, last minute gift, take a stroll through Kris Krafters Market area where you’ll find vendors displaying a variety of hand-crafted and specialty items.

Of course this event wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa. How will he arrive this year? Keep a lookout, you just never know how he’ll fly in.
