The Village of Metamora, home to 664 residents, is known far and wide for its quaint downtown and a place where you can escape from the fast pace of city life to the old-town atmosphere.

The four corners in Metamora are a destination for both area residents and out-of-town guests.

In the village, Harmer Park is the site of a summertime “Music in the Park” series.  A summertime car show on S. Oak Street is growing in popularity among auto buffs.

Metamora Country Days & Hot Air Balloon Festival is the community’s grand celebration. This late summer heritage event includes a parade, crafters, equestrian events, food, music and a spectacular assembly and launch of colorful hot air balloons.

Costumes and carolers, snowflakes and scares, mistletoe and merriment comes the all horse Wassail Parade in December. Downtown is filled with visitors gathering to watch the parade.
