The Honor America Celebration is a hallmark of summer in the Pekin area and I know many families here will looking forward to resuming their holiday traditions.” In recent years, the firework display has been viewed from within the 10,000 seat Pekin Memorial Stadium, with additional seating and handicapped accessible seating located on the football field.
