Peoria Lights/Beacon Road Illuminations

Coming this Halloween and Christmas 2024 muahahhahahahaha

2023 Christmas is packed away and plans for the 2024 Halloween and Christmas expansion is in the works. Details in a few month’s.

Tonight is the last night for the 2023 Christmas season. 5pm till 10pm we hope you enjoyed the lights this year. Happy New Year

With nearly 4 inches of rain this month the parking area is getting muddy. This red area is really bad and if you could park away from this marked area it would be appreciated. .

With more people lining up about 20 minutes early we changed the start time to 5pm for the rest of the 2023 season.

Looks like someone was making a podcast or TikTok video with a tripod last night. Wondering what channel it is.

Most requested songs of the season so far is Star Wars and polar express mashup 15 requests. 44 total requests on Tuesday. That is amazing. I am happy to see the jukebox is a hit.

If you have more then a car please give me a heads up so we can get a special parking for your bus load. Second bus in a few days.

Taking advantage of the warm weather to clean and organize Santa’s workshop. Preparing to bring the Christmas display back into storage in January.

Monday danger zone was the most requested song with 41 total requests. Link provided on www.peorialights.com.

Looks like we had 26 unique viewers that used the jukebox funtion with 38 song requests last night. Most requested song last night was suprising to me "DIsney princesses".

Just a reminder the remote jukebox is working great. The full list of songs is on the jukebox and a shorter version is in the standard rotation. Next year the jukebox will have everything we have ever done while the rotation will be new and the highest requested song’s. Tell everyone about the remote falcon jukebox.

Going to try something fun and new tonight. I pulled about 8 songs out of the rotation where it is now under an hour long. However ALL the songs will be in the remote falcon. Next year new and most voted songs will be in the standard rotation. Every song I have every done will be there in the Jukebox funtion for next year. You just have to use the remote falcon and add it to the list.

I have been wanting to switch the control of the light show from my main computer to a Raspberry Pi for 3 years now. I have been running tests since 5am this morning and looks like it is working correctly. The Main Computer will be on standby if it has issues. I will be monitoring the show tonight.

Jukebox function is operating again. When you are in front of the display. Click the link below and allow remote falcon to use your GPS location so you can pick the songs you want to hear.

The jukebox function is offline. The host that runs the software is aware of the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

5 hours replacing and fixing pixels on the entire display. Everything is working until something else goes out. 😂

Thanksgiving night is the start of the 2023 Christmas Season. Looking at a runtime of 92 minutes I would suggest everyone use the Remote link below to pick the songs you would like to watch. Please allow the website to use your GPS as it only allows you to add songs if you are on Beacon Road.

Everything is working and we will be testing the lights over the next few days for the kickoff of the 2023 Christmas season Thanksgiving Night.
