Let Your Light Shine for Freedom

Become a Sponsor of "Freedom Week"

Plans are underway for a fabulous week celebrating our state and our nation.  Whether you are a business or a candidate this will be a great time to connect with the community.

We kick off with Memorial Day events and then a service event for our veterans then Friday, May 29 is the 170th anniversary of the formation of the Illinois Republican Party. 

We culminate the week in a day of family fun and festivities on May 30. 

You can be part of a new tradition as we launch our Freedom Train for 2026 Parades at the Memorial Day Parade.

Support our veterans and help us have a fun outreach with our Fun-D Vets Music Trivia night.

Several sponsorship levels are available for our Saturday Freedom Fest, including our Essay Scholarship Contest for are high school students. 

Due to time constraints of our full program only Lincoln Sponsors who are candiates will have time at the mic to speak to the crowd.  Lots of other opportunities to connect with voters that day are built into the sponsorships and the general activities. 

Tickets for the Freedom Fest will go on sale May 1.

 You can demonstrate to McLean County that you are ready to invest in positive upbeat celebration that leads to kicking off the 250th American Birthday fun all summer
