Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce Hosts 76th Annual Honor America Celebration
THE PEKIN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL HOST THE FOURTH OF JULY HONOR AMERICA CELEBRATION FIREWORKS DISPLAY NEAR PEKIN MEMORIAL STADIUM ON JULY 4, 2024.
Pekin, IL- The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the continuation of the Fourth of July “Honor America Celebration” fireworks display held at Pekin Memorial Stadium this summer. The Honor America Celebration is funded by members of the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, the Pekin business community, and donations from community members.
***Due to construction in and around Pekin Memorial Stadium, the stadium will be closed to spectators in 2024 and 2025. The Arena Parking lot will be used for VIP seating for sponsor ticket holders, wheelchair-accessible seating, and a free General Admission area. Vehicles will not be allowed in this area. ***
The display begins at nightfall on July 4 with a rain date the following evening.
Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Amy McCoy states, “We are proud to offer this event to our community, and we could not do so without the support of our sponsors. The Honor America Celebration is a hallmark of our community. While it will look a little different for the next couple of years, we pledge to treat our guests to a fantastic show!”
Today we launch a fundraising campaign that will run throughout March, an effort to raise $30,000 to support this event and specifically the fireworks display. With continued increases in the cost of fireworks, community sponsorships are needed to continue the Honor America Celebration into its 76th year. The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce accepts business sponsorships on an annual basis to fund the display. Click here to contribute. In addition, community members may contribute online at www.pekinchamber.com, send via Venmo @PekinChamber, or by mailing a check to Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce, 402 Court St., Pekin, IL 61554.
