The East Peoria Chamber of Commerce is moving at full speed as we go forward into the festival season! We recently held an Eggs & Issues event with both the Police and Fire Chiefs, our 30th annual Golf Classic (Terry Brewer Memorial), and the 24th Annual Business Exposition Oktoberfest. All events were well attended, and a good time was had by all.

In partnership with the City of East Peoria, the Chamber is preparing to assist in the 40th Annual FOLEPI Parade on Saturday, November 23rd and Winter Wonderland Friday, November 30 through January 5, 2025. The Festival guides will be available at sponsoring businesses and Winter Wonderland. The Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast will be held on Friday, December 6, and the Annual Dinner will be Thursday, January 30. Nominations for Citizen of the Year and Friend of the Community can be mailed to the East Peoria Chamber of Commerce at 201 Clock Tower Drive, East Peoria, IL 61611 or emailed to [email protected].

The Chamber wants to thank Ketrina Miller for her outstanding work. Ketrina resigned in October to raise her son and baby on the way. Please help us welcome our new Office Manager, Amber Gruden. Amber is a graduate of Illinois Central College and Illinois State University with a master’s degree in Recreation Administration. We are excited to have her join our team! 

Not a Chamber member? Please contact us! No business/organization is too big or small to join. You will find our annual dues very reasonable for the services we provide. Call (309) 699-6212 or email [email protected].
