About Peoria
Peoria will surprise you: The metro area includes nearly 350,000 residents and is the cultural, medical and retail center for downstate Illinois. Peoria has many of the amenities you find in large cities, including a symphony orchestra, professional theatre companies, a ballet troupe and a civic center, where national acts perform nearly every week. First-time visitors are often amazed at how “urban” Peoria is – we even have a skyline!
