The Peoria Arts & Cultural festival includes a full day of fun that highlights band, choir, orchestra, dance, and visual art near 83rd and Grand Avenues in Peoria. The event includes free activities for children, food trucks and performances that take place throughout the day with students from Peoria Unified’s 34 elementary and seven high schools.

For the 21st year, the city of Peoria and Peoria Unified School District (PUSD) continues to partner on this free event that brings students’ artistic talents to the forefront. The festival covers multiple city blocks and includes plentiful free parking just a short distance away at the Peoria Municipal Campus adjacent to the Peoria Main Library. Although free to the public, multiple sponsorships are available by visiting the Peoria Education Foundation website. All proceeds for the event benefit the Peoria Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides grants to teachers and scholarships to students in the Peoria Unified School District.
