Lagoon Glow
Lanterns are available for a $10 donation during the festival and all proceeds will benefit the Steven D. Skinner Performing Arts Venue construction project. Write a memory or wish on your lantern, or honor a loved one. The lanterns will be cast into the lagoon at dusk.
Marigold Mile
The Marigold Mile is a registered, one mile racing event along the Marigold Festival parade route, just before the parade begins on Saturday, September 7th. Runners can check in/register in the Vonderheide’s Floor Covering parking lot beginning at 9:00 AM. Runners will take off the 14th and Broadway starting point to kick off the parade at 10:00 AM sharp!
Not sure if you can make it one mile? Our youngest runner to complete the mile was 2 years old last year and our oldest was in his 80𝘴! WE 👏 KNOW 👏 YOU 👏 CAN 👏 DO 👏 IT 👏 And, Pekin’s parade enthusiasts will be cheering you all the way!
