Carle Health Red White & Boom

Boom is back for 2023, bigger and better than ever, and with a new name due to the transition to Carle Health from UnityPoint Health. Carle Health Red White and Boom, brought home by Adam Merrick Real Estate is the area's largest event which attracts an estimated 200,000 people to the Peoria and East Peoria
riverfronts for a massive Fourth of July fireworks display. The fireworks show annually ranks among the top 2% in the nation. Music, food and drink vendors,  and other entertainment surrounds the fireworks, which are launched from a dual barge in the middle of the Illinois River. The fireworks shells explode to
the choreographed beats of music on six Midwest Communications radio stations. 2023 will be the 35th presentation of the event, which is open to everyone and is free of charge. More updates will be added as the event draws closer, and can be found at www.RedWhiteAndBoom.us

Beginning at 6 pm, the grounds of John C Flanagan House Museum will be open for picnicking and tours. View the fireworks from high on the bluff. On street parking, bring your own chairs. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children to the grounds. House tours are $5 for adults and children under 12 free. Popcorn and beverages available for purchase.

Roll Out the Barrel Bus Tour

Peoria once featured a riverfront lined with breweries and distilleries. Taxes collected ranked it as the Whiskey Capital of the World.
From 1850 to Prohibition, the volume of whiskey distilled, aged, and bottled in Peoria led to great fortunes being made and to the birth of equally prosperous secondary industries. Discover why Peoria was the perfect place for all of these industries to be developed.
