Riverfront Market and Sculpture Walk Both Kick Off This Weekend in Downtown Peoria

Our guests this week are Michelle Nielsen Ott from Sculpture Walk Peoria, and Sharon Gramm with the Peoria Riverfront Market. The two groups are working together this year: Peoria Riverfront Market begins tomorrow morning; and Sculpture Walk's opening day celebration begins later in the day, just across the street. The idea is to give residents and visitors a double incentive to visit downtown Peoria.

Gramm and Ott both talk about the intent behind the collaboration. They also describe their own opening-day events, and the activities they have planned through the summer and into fall.

The first Peoria Riverfront Market of the year will be tomorrow from 8:00 to noon in the 200 block of Water Street. Sculpture Walk Peoria gets underway tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. on the Sun Plaza of the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
