Step back in time aboard the Midwest's most unique and historic riverboat as it travels the Illinois River valley between Peoria and Starved Rock State Park.  The Spirit of Peoria is a full-blown replica of the nineteenth century riverboats that used to inhabit the nation's waterways.  Decorated in the "wedding cake" style, the Spirit mirrors a Mark Twain era riverboat, complete with an enormous 21-foot diameter paddle wheel! This excursion features two days of cruising along with an overnight at the historic Starved Rock Lodge.  Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the lodge offers rustic charm with modern conveniences.

Also, to enhance the experience, we will showcase many different special interest groups involving everything from the ecosystem we live in to issues that involve the world as we know it.

The Universal Rhythm Assembly will be offering an eclectic mix of tastes from around the world, including specialty food and beverages. And if that wasn’t enough, we will also have an assortment of specialty merchandise vendors to round out the experience.
