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.

We are excited to present the third annual Christmas in the Village in Peoria, IL! This special event continues to grow each year, featuring an exciting line up of local food trucks and vendors, hot chocolate and holiday cocktails, horse-drawn carriage rides, a holiday laser light show, carolers, live animals, the Peoria Ballet Nutcracker ballerinas, holidays movies in the Giant Screen Theater, museum exhibitions, some special exciting surprises, and Peoria’s LARGEST live Christmas tree!

A one stop shop for all your holiday decor and gift giving for the special people in your life! We can’t wait to once again enjoy the magic of the Christmas season with our community! All proceeds from the Village will go towards the Museum's Every Student Initiative.
