The Illinois Main Street Conference brings together leaders, advocates, and cheerleaders to learn from each other and industry experts on how to grow and sustain downtown districts as centers of economic and social opportunity.

 

Pontiac is in the heart of America and on the first 100 miles of America’s Main Street, Route 66!
With museums and attractions, including the Route 66 Hall of Fame & Museum, Pontiac Oakland Automobile Museum, Museum of the Gilding Arts, and Livingston County War Museum, Pontiac is steeped in American history. With over 20 hand painted murals in the community, it is a colorful feast for your eyes. With its historic charm, walkable and welcoming business district, and vibrant arts and cultural communities, Downtown Pontiac is committed to go from a place where people can be and a place where people want to be, to a place where people are.

 

At the 2023 Illinois Main Street Conference, experience a unified and focused effort of downtown businesses, local government, and residents of the community ensures the success of this vision for Pontiac. 

 

We look forward to welcoming you with open arms to Pontiac, Illinois, where we always remember to #PlayInPontiac!
