About the Festival Wreath
High atop the city on Fon du Lac Drive sits the Festival of Lights’ 30-foot wreath, welcoming all to East Peoria.
For the Festival’s first 29 years, the wreath was a Ferris wheel with lights attached to the frame. A new wreath was unveiled for the Festival’s 30th anniversary in 2014. The wreath’s frame was created by Bessler Welding, and volunteers attached each light by hand.
