East Peoria is called "The City of Lights" because of its spectacular Festival of Lights that ends each calendar year.

East Peoria is a growing, modern city. Residents enjoy exceptional living in a seemingly endless array of beautiful homes built among the trees that cover the high hills and steep ravines to the east of the river bottom lands.

East Peoria has high quality public school systems and support with equal vigor an in-town community college.

This community has a system of parks totaling more than 1,100 acres. In addition, Peoria opens its wealth of recreation, culture, and entertainment assets to East Peoria's appreciative residents.

The economic incentives of an Enterprise Zone and a Foreign Trade Zone are encouraging commercial expansion and redevelopment of industrial lands. As a result, the East Peoria riverfront is changing character. New hotels and restaurants flank a floating casino that contributes substantially to city revenues. New townhomes and condominiums overlook a large, new marina, complete with retail shops and restaurants. And a $50,000,000 shopping center is taking shape on the banks of the river.

East Peoria, the City of Lights, is also a City of Promise.
