Celebrate with us

Streator Liberty Fest is a vibrant community event featuring a variety of activities for all ages. The fest kicks off with the Run for Glory 5k race that sets the tone for the day's festivities. Attendees can explore numerous vendors offering a diverse selection of goods and treats. Kids can partake in special events tailored just for them, ensuring a fun-filled day for the whole family. A highlight for many is the World of Bounce section where children can expend their energy while adults relax and socialize. The fest culminates with a colorful parade, bringing the community together in a celebration of liberty and unity.
