Welcome to the Pekin Winter Wonderland Festival

A Central Illinois Tradition Since 1987

Since 1987, Pekin Winter Wonderland has brought joy and wonder to families across Central Illinois. Each year, Mineral Springs Park transforms into a dazzling holiday destination, featuring over 400 lighted trees, a vibrant parade, live entertainment, and a spectacular fireworks show. Join us to celebrate cherished traditions and make magical new memories!

Pekin Winter Wonderland began in 1987 with a group of persons with wonderful ideas for promoting the Christmas Spirit within our community. All event funding comes from generous corporate and individual sponsorships, donations, and sales of Pekin Winter Wonderland products. Volunteers are always welcome and encouraged. After all, what makes us successful is our volunteers!

Our organization is primarily funded by Christmas Tree Sponsorships and through the generosity of our local corporate donors.

We’d Like to Thank Our 2024 Community Sponsors
