Make plans to join us this evening for the final Municipal Band concert of the season. The show begins at 7:00pm. Root beer floats and other treats will be available in the concession.

We are tremendously excited about our 3rd of July festivities at the Glen Oak Amphitheatre! Gates will open at 4 p.m., with entertainment all the way up until the fireworks! We have the Peoria ballet, JC and the Redemption, the Peoria Municipal Band and others! There will be plenty of food from all our favorite vendors, and the fireworks show is sure to impress!
Please remember, that if you plan on parking your car inside Glen Oak Park, just as in recent years, there will be a $5 per-car parking charge to help offset the tremendous cost of the fireworks and the event. We thank you for your support, and we look forward to you being our guests! Please share this post and spread the word!
Happy Birthday America!

“One of the priorities of the Peoria Park District’s Strategic Plan is to focus on services that make the greatest impact. Because there are several family film series that are offered elsewhere in our community, the Peoria Park District will not be offering Family Flicks for 2019. While we’re no longer offering Family Flicks, we are pleased to offer other great family programs. To learn more, please visit PeoriaParks.org.”

Make sure to join us tonight for the last Municipal Band concert of the season at 7:00 PM. We will have hot dogs and brats for sale.

Check out our latest event! Next Thursday (August 9th), is our second concert in our "Sunset Concerts" series! Come see "JC and The Redemption" light up the stage!
This 11-piece band was formed in 2012 by drummer and bandleader Jeremy Clark. Clark desired to play in a high caliber Funk band featuring a professional-grade horn line that played all the classic Funk, Soul and Stax charts. The band is influenced by Tower of Power, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Hornheads, among others. JC and The Redemption operates out of Peoria, IL.

Tickets are $5 and gates open at 7!!

The Glen Oak Amphitheatre is proud to welcome Saint Paul Baptist Church to our home. We thank them for the rental!

We would like to take this opportunity to wish Doris Snyder a happy early birthday! She will be 110 on August 10th. Doris has been attending the Peoria Municipal Band in the Amphitheatre since she was a young adult. Her favorite part about being here, is seeing all the people. She says that she meets the nicest people while at the concert and it is a very pretty setting. She also feels that the Amphitheatre is such a wonderful asset for the East Bluff, and the music is wonderful!

About to run a movie for a private rental. That's right! You too can rent the Glen Oak Amphitheatre. Call 309-688-3667 and ask for Steve Montez or Mary Keltner.
