Summer Events
I'm moving up to Peoria in a few weeks for my husbands job. In my current city there are festivals or events basically every weekend and I'm usually involved with quite a bit of it. I was born and raised here so I know the major event schedule by heart, but I've heard from multiple friends that when they first moved to the area they didn't hear about most of the events until after they happened... So I don't want to be there for 5 years before I discover an awesome event or tradition in the area:
- What are the major summer festivals in the Peoria area?
- Are there recurring live music events (like a "summer nights" type deal) anywhere in the community? Like an open air hang out with music kind of thing?
- I saw the WCBU link on the Moving Sticky, but are there other primary sources to stay up to date with local events?
