“This year, Big Picture Peoria Street Festival is excited to team up with Go Day for a free, family-friendly event that celebrates the best of Peoria—art, sports, and community. At our festival, people of all ages can get creative with hands-on fun like a giant doodle wall, a paint fling, live performances, and more. Go Day brings the same energy with interactive sports that get kids moving and families involved. Together, we’re showing how art and play can spark connection, joy, and pride across Greater Peoria.”
