About the city
Peoria, set along the banks of the Illinois River, is more than a welcoming Midwestern city—it’s an increasingly recognized destination for top-tier entertainment and major events. Here, the buzz of sports and the energy of live music blend naturally with the city’s relaxed pace, making it easy to pair a night out with a short city break. That mix of convenience, charm, and things to do makes Peoria a smart pick when you want a great experience without unnecessary crowds.
The city stands out for practical connectivity, which keeps getting to the main arenas and stadiums straightforward. Local mobility is led by the CityLink bus network, with the central transfer hub at the CityLink Transit Center downtown (407 SW Adams St.). If you’re flying in, General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport (PIA) sits a short drive from the center, while key roads like I-74 make arrival easy for drivers. Travelers who prefer rail often use Amtrak at Bloomington-Normal (BNL) and continue by road or bus connections toward Peoria, with clear routes and simple navigation.
Once you’re in town, use the time before or after your event for a riverside walk along the Peoria RiverFront and views over the water, then stop by the Peoria Riverfront Museum or the Caterpillar Visitors Center for culture and hands-on exhibits. For panoramic scenery and an easy drive or stroll, Grandview Drive offers one of the city’s best perspectives over the river valley. Add nearby neighborhoods around downtown, local restaurants and bars, and waterside parks, and you have a well-rounded plan that turns any game or concert trip into a complete experience.
