Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

And just like that -it is 2023.Whoa.

Below you will find many of the events we know are planned for this year... with more to be added each week. If you know of an event that you want to see listed here, send an email to tourism@mattoonillinois.org or give us a call at 217-258-6286. We don't need all the details, just the name and date of the event for now. You can provide more information as the date gets closer. The event doesn't have to be free but does need to be open to the public.

We are lucky to have so many things to do in our community and Mattoon Tourism and Arts wants to help spread the word.

Thanks,
