Red White & BOOM! is the Peoria area’s largest event, attracting an estimated 200,000 people on the Peoria and East Peoria riverfronts. This massive fireworks display ranks among the top 2% in the nation.
At the rate of over 2,000 shells per minute, the show is launched from a dual barge in the middle of the Illinois River with the fireworks explosions choreographed to music on seven Midwest Communications radio stations.
This year will be the 35th presentation of the event. Carle Health Red White and Boom brought home by Adam Merrick Real Estate is open to everyone and is free of charge. We will add more details as we get closer to the event.
Midwest Communications and its seven radio stations organize the event in conjunction with the Peoria Park District. It is supported with the help of several of our community-focused sponsors, volunteers and local organizations.
