City of Pekin

Pekin is less about the hustle and bustle and more about wholesome Midwest living. The Tazewell County seat is known for its trendy shopping, golf, and historic pavilion on the picturesque lagoon in the heart of the city. Dubbed the "Marigold Capital of the World," be sure to visit in September for the Marigold Festival.

Take a stroll along historic Downtown Court Street – stop and shop local retailers and at the Pop-Up Markets. Grab a bite to eat or a delicious beverage.

Santa is coming to town!
