Join us for Christmas in the Village at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, in support of the Every Student Initiative !

Alison Unkovich, who worked as an educator in Chicago for a decade, has returned to her hometown of Peoria, IL. Her vision of “Christmas in the Village” is to create a magical Christmas event that will provide an opportunity to bring our community together during the holiday season, as well as raise resources for the Museum’s Every Student Initiative. Alison is grateful for the amazing community and sponsors whose support helps raise up this village and bring this wonderful event to life on the Peoria Riverfront.

Prepare to once again be enthralled by the largest live Christmas tree that Peoria has ever seen! Let’s come together as a community to experience all the wonders of the Holiday season with Santa, carriage rides, live animals, carolers, and so many magical vendors to explore. Specialty holiday cocktails, warm hot chocolate, and a variety of food will be in the Village for your whole family to enjoy. This year the Village will be open for two days to ensure there is plenty of time for your family and friends to join in the joy of the Christmas season!
