It's that magical time of year again - my favorite season: FALL! I'm all about cozy sweaters, hoodies, warm socks, campfires, apple orchards, pumpkins, pumpkin spice (everything) Fall just has a special place in my heart, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Since I love fall so much, I tend to go all out when it comes to celebrating. And I'm not the only one! If you're in Peoria or the surrounding towns, here are some fantastic Fall Festivals and other events you won't want to miss! We’ll keep updating this list as more fall festivities pop up. If you're planning a Fall Festival or event let us know, and we'll be sure to add it!
