Cruise along the picturesque Illinois River and relive the adventures of Mark Twain as the sounds of the calliope drift through the valley.

Kids and adults alike will be fascinated by the boat’s tall fluted stacks and gigantic candy-apple red paddlewheel churning through the water. It’s great entertainment for all ages. Trip includes Captain’s Commentary. Gift shop and concessions are available. No reservations required.

These cruises are an hour and a half-long. They begin and end at the riverfront dock in downtown Peoria.

The versatile Sammich songlist means that the band is perfect for EVERY event, whether it be a dance, wedding reception, private party, club date, festival, etc. With tunes from 4 decades, including Motown, disco, funk, hip-hop, retro 80's, Buffett, and rock, Sammich is the TRUE variety band--there REALLY is something for everyone.

It should come to no surprise that the readers of the River City Times voted JammSammich "Peoria's favorite band" in 2004, 2005, 2006 and that the band continues to enjoy record crowds at Central Illinois' most renowned venues and headlining slots at prestigious festivals and events. The formula of groove-driven funk and R&B, retro 80's tunes, island jams, and liberal doses of comedy has proven to be one of the most potent in the last decade and, in the spirit of flattery, has become an imitated commodity.

Avoid the risk. Go with something proven. Guaranteed party. Every time.

Gates Open: 7:30pm
Cost: $7 per person – tickets available at the gate day of show
Location: CEFCU Center Stage @ The Landing
