Visit Kankakee County Launches New Mural Trail

Visit Kankakee County invites locals and visitors alike to “paint the town” with the launch of the Kankakee County Mural Trail, a self-guided new way to explore the area’s art, culture, and creativity. From bright backdrops to hidden gems, every stop is a chance to slow down and view the County through a whole new lens.

This self-guided adventure strings together Kankakee County’s brightest walls, history lessons, hidden gems, and splashy backdrops. Wander at your pace, snap your face off (tag @VisitKankakeeCounty) and fuel up at local cafes along the way.

Pro-tip: bring comfy shoes, a charged phone and your best “wow, that’s a wall!” pose.
