City of Pekin
Pekin is less about the hustle and bustle and more about wholesome Midwest living. The Tazewell County seat is known for its trendy shopping, golf, and historic pavilion on the picturesque lagoon in the heart of the city. Dubbed the "Marigold Capital of the World," be sure to visit in September for the Marigold Festival.
Immerse yourself in the “Marigold Capitol of the World”, a great place to start exploring the heart of Illinois. You’ll find family fun attractions, sporting venues, beautiful parks and delicious food from local restaurants.
