PEORIA, Ill. – Another Choose Greater Peoria Red, White and Boom, presented by I-3 Broadband is in the books.
Peoria Mayor Rita Ali told WMBD Radio that around 200,000 people came to celebrate America’s 250th birthday on the Peoria and East Peoria riverfronts.
“That’s extremely special, something like that doesn’t come often. We waited 250 years for this. It’s about our freedom, our independence, and our coming together in downtown Peoria and East Peoria, in a unified manner to celebrate,” Ali said.
Despite some strong storms that moved through downtown Peoria Saturday afternoon, everything for Red, White and Boom went off without a hitch.
