We hope you have a great time! Proceeds from the Peoria International Beer Festival enable the Jaycees to support local charities and community projects throughout the year. A sampling of specific Jaycee projects which directly benefit the Peoria community are the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Santa’s Little Helpers, and Santa Visits the Kids. The Peoria Jaycees are a leadership training organization for 21-40 year old. Members learn leadership skills by organizing and running projects such as the Peoria Jaycees International Beer Festival. In addition to project chairing, the Jaycees offer leadership training, volunteer work, along with social and networking opportunities.
