140 Years of Elegance

Stay tuned for this year’s theme!
The Ball of Peoria is a fundraiser for the restoration of the Peoria Women’s Club theatre.
The theatre has been shuttered to the public since the 1970s. We are in the process of restoring our building, so that we can once again provide community resources and unique performances from our stage. With your help, we can achieve this goal!
