About

The Peoria Area Community Festival of Nativities was started in 2016 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Sisters of St. Francis of the Immaculate Conception, friends from St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, and All Saints Greek Orthodox Church. Since then the festival has continued to grow and invite individuals and families to "Come and See."

We are grateful to Brooklyn Swenson for the use of her artwork in our promotional materials this year.
Brooklyn Swenson is a young artist from Utah. She has a great love for everything folk and it is a common theme throughout her artwork. She attended art school after high school and eventually everything came full circle for her after taking a watercolor class at BYU. She works with watercolor, acryla gouache, gouache, and digital mediums.
