Crisp Fall Days In Central Illinois

Embrace the changing colors of the season and celebrate autumn in Mattoon, Illinois with our seasonal activities including community events, parades, and taking scenic drives through the picturesque rural roads and farmland. 

The Veterans Day Parade begins on the east side of 21st Street and Western Avenue, near Niemann’s. From there, the procession moves westward along 21st Street, making its way to Broadway. The parade concludes at the intersection of 6th Street and Broadway, where a memorial ceremony will follow at Peterson Park.
