The Blockbuster Bash for the Madison is an all-ages, community festival with the not-so-secret goal of raising money needed to support the renovation and reestablish the Madison Theatre. In other words, it’s a party. And like any good party, we want as many people as possible to attend. That’s why we’re not charging admission. Instead, we're asking folks to pay what they think it’s worth. Now, we think the experience we have planned is worth hundreds ... thousands even. But we'll be ecstatic if everyone who attends gives just $20. In fact, you can click the pink button in the top right corner and send one Andrew Jackson our way right now. Your contribution is an investment in the arts and a beloved venue that's an anchor of Peoria’s downtown. Here’s a peek at the incredible, diverse lineup of acts and activities we’ve put together for the Blockbuster Bash: 🎶 Live music by Still Shine, The BraziLionaires, and Sun Stereo 🎭 Live performances by local and regional artists 🌟 Youth talent showcase from across the Greater Peoria Area 🚶‍♂️ Guided tours of The Madison Theatre (very limited availability - reserve your spot now!) 🛍️ Pop-up bodega featuring a recreation of The Nut House 🎨 Unveiling of an all-new mural celebrating the arts (thanks, PNC Bank!) There will be plenty of options for food and drink, of course, along with a whole host of other events and activities we couldn’t squeeze onto the list above. But here’s the best part – 100% of the money raised will be going directly into saving one of the most famous spaces in all of Peoria.
