Pekin Marigold Festival

The 2016 commemorative CEFCU Marigold Mugs are now available!  You can pick them up now at the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, 402 Court St., Pekin, or you can find them at the CEFCU Soda Stations!                                    

The Marigold Festival takes great pride in offering the food concessions to nonprofit organizations. For many of these groups, this is their biggest fund raising event of the year. Most of the Festive Food booths are located in Mineral Springs Park, across Pavilion Road between the pavilion and ball diamond #1.

Special thanks to Pekin Hospital for providing the festival with a First Aid Tent!
