The Ameren Celebrates March Madness Playing in Peoria Banquet will be held each Thursday night prior to the respective state final tournament.

In fantastic fifteen years, the March Madness Experience™ Playing In Peoria has become the preeminent high school sporting event in America.  With the solid support of our corporate sponsors, and with the enthusiastic involvement of people throughout the entire Greater Peoria Metropolitan Area, we have developed what easily can de described as 'the best addition to the tradition' of March Madness®. All the activity going on under one roof at the Peoria Civic Center allows us to link the generations of our fans in a celebration of basketball unparalleled at the interscholastic level.
