I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I've worked in the entertainment industry for much of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
The East Peoria Festival of Lights has been a tradition in Central Illinois since 1984. It features Folepi’s Winter Wonderland, an over one-mile drive-through experience showcasing millions of lights, floats from the annual Parade of Lights, and several displays. Visitors are delighted by the dazzling colors as they drive through this festive holiday wonderland.
Folepi's Winter Wonderland takes approximately five weeks to set up and the drive-thru lights are spectacular once they are finished.
This is such a popular event that people often wait in a long car line before they are allowed to drive through, but you may not have to wait as long if you come during the week. Weekends are the busiest at Folepi's.
Folepi’s Winter Wonderland is the signature event for the East Peoria Festival of Lights. The event runs from November 26, 2020, through January 3, 2021. Tickets are not sold online, so you must bring cash, credit, or debit to pay.
For more information about ticket prices and hours of operation, please visit the East Peoria Festival of Lights’ Facebook page.
