The holiday season is upon us! ?? It’s a special time of year — unless you forget to take your kid on vacation and leave them #HomeAlone to fend off “The Wet Bandits” for a week. That would be stressful, and we hope that doesn’t happen. To avoid that, celebrate the holidays in Greater Peoria. Nobody does it better than us when it comes to festive traditions, starting with the 137th Annual Santa Claus Parade — ?????? ????????????’?? ??????????????-?????????????? ?????????????? ???????????? (starts at 9:15 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving). You know a parade is good when it’s been around since 1887. ?? ?? That’s not the only spectacular tradition we boast.

When you #ChooseGreaterPeoria, you choose a region with high-quality schools and programs. The kind of education that sets your child up for big-time success. Take Peoria Academy, for example. #PeoriaAcademy is the only elementary school in Central Illinois with an International Baccalaureate (IB) program. It’s the same accreditation as Richwoods’ renowned IB Program but for grade school students. With a 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio, the staff at Peoria Academy knows and nurtures each student — cultivating curiosity, creativity and intellect. That must be why they’ve made nine Scholastic Bowl state appearances in their school history (opened in 2000).

The filmmaking talent here is exceptional.??? You know this if you’ve been to the Big Picture Peoria Film Festival. If you haven’t, mark your calendars for November 22nd and 23rd — for a two-day cultural experience like no other. Each film will be showcased on the Peoria Riverfront Museum’s Giant Screen Theater, the LARGEST Film Society Screen in America (52-ft high and 70-ft wide ??). Plus, there’ll likely be a John David Morris sighting, something no other film festival can offer. Nearly 30 short films are on the docket, from creative dramas to heartwarming tales to side-splitting comedies. “The Big Picture Peoria Film Festival is another step towards making Peoria an international arts destination,” says Doug Leunig, co-founder of Big Picture Initiative. “We have the infrastructure, the talent and most importantly, the desire to put our city on the map. We can do this, Peoria!” Don’t miss out on some homegrown movie magic in downtown P-Town. Home of the next legendary filmmaker? You never know… #ChooseGreaterPeoria #TheresMoreHere #BigPicturePeoria #FilmFestival #PlaysInPeoria
