ALEDO MAIN STREET events
🎵EVERYBODY, ROCK YOUR RHUBARB RIGHT
RHUBARB’S BACK . . . ALRIGHT!🎶
It may not be as popular as a 90s boy band, but rhubarb holds a special place in the heart of Aledoans. We’re getting ready to celebrate the 34th annual Rhubarb Festival in historic downtown Aledo, Illinois this June 5th and 6th!
To plan your visit with information on festival entertainment, hours, and more, visit the official Rhubarb Fest website.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
Aledo Main Street Scholarship
The 2025 Aledo Main Street Scholarship is open from March 4, 2025, to April 30, 2025.
Thanks to generous community donors and proceeds from the Holly Days Hot Chocolate Hustle 5K, AMS is proud to award at least two $500 scholarships to graduating seniors from MCHS District #404.
This year, we’re adding a creative twist! Instead of a traditional written essay, applicants have the option to submit a short video. We encourage applicants to showcase their creativity by recording a 20- to 60-second video introducing their favorite LOCAL Aledo or Mercer County place, event, restaurant, or small business. We can’t wait to see your unique perspectives on what makes our community special!
