Pekin Winter Wonderland began in 1987 with a group of persons with wonderful ideas for promoting the Christmas Spirit within our community. All event funding comes from generous corporate and individual sponsorships, donations, and sales of Pekin Winter Wonderland products. Volunteers are always welcome and encouraged. After all, what makes us successful is our volunteers!
