The Peoria art community will once again take over almost every inch of the Peoria Civic Center this Saturday with Ignite Peoria 2015! Art, music, theater, fashion, dance, cars, workshops and much, much more will be found this Saturday, August 8th from 9am – 5pm at the Peoria Civic Center.
IGNITE Peoria began with a spark in 2013, when members of the arts community came together with the idea to host an event that celebrated creativity of all kinds right here in Peoria. On Saturday, August 9th, 2014, ArtsPartners of Central Illinois, The Peoria Civic Center and The Peoria Area Convention and Visitors Bureau hosted the first-ever IGNITE Peoria, a celebration of creativity featuring a range of events to inspire innovation, release artistic vision and spark the imagination of the community.
According to all who attended, that mission was accomplished. Far exceeding expectations, the event had a tremendous turnout, bringing more than 6,300 people to downtown Peoria to touch, feel, taste, see and interact with the local arts community. And all the fun and excitement is back again! Check out their website here and Facebook page here for more details on the day’s events.
Join me live from 9-11am Saturday for some NASH giveaways! And to give you a better idea on what to expect this weekend, here is a video of some of last year’s highlights.
