Pekin Daily Times Over the years, the Festival of Lights parade and the Winter Wonderland display on Springfield Road have made East Peoria an increasingly popular tourist attraction during the Christmas season. Recently, East Peoria saw a spike in prestige when the Festival of Lights and the Winter Wonderland won a grand prize on the ABC television show “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” which aired Dec. 16. That added notoriety has drawn even more tourists to East Peoria this year than in years past, leading to longer lines and more traffic tie-ups on Springfield Road — and elsewhere nearby — as people line up for the attraction.
