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.

The Marigold Capital of the World is filled with unique attractions to explore. Home to the world’s largest sundial, you can spend the day in Mineral Springs Park paddle boating on the lagoon. Enjoy a world-class golf course, Pekin Paintball Park, disc golf, bowling and Dragonland Water Park. Take a stroll downtown on historic Court Street and enjoy an abundance of shopping and delicious dining!
