At Decatur Celebration, there’s something exciting around every corner.
Each August, hundreds of thousands of people flock to Central Illinois to experience Decatur Celebration, the Midwest’s most exciting family street festival. The massive 3-day event blankets the downtown business district with:
- Five Festivals in One: Music, Food, Arts & Crafts, Carnival, and Film
- 10 Show Stages featuring national and emerging music artists
- Over 60 unique food items hand-selected for quality and inspected for safety
- 3 blocks of authentic Arts & Crafters
- Spectacular carnival rides for all ages
- Razzle Dazzle Goodtimes Parade televised LIVE
- Kids Block featuring children’s games, shows and prizes
- NEW! Eclectic “DISTRICT” -a funky Indie experience showcasing all things up-and-coming
Decatur Celebration’s 26 year-and-counting legacy includes much more than entertainment for the whole family; the Celebration is all about community. Each year the event generates over $100,000 for a number of local service organizations, provides opportunities for volunteerism, and means millions to the local business community.
