Decatur Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

Located in the heart of Illinois, Macon County is a strong sports tourism destination that’s easy to get to, easy to work with, and built to host successful events. Anchored by Decatur and the surrounding communities of Forsyth, Mt. Zion, Maroa, and others, the area offers quality facilities, affordable hotels, and a community that truly shows up for visiting teams and athletes.

What makes Macon County stand out is the overall experience. Teams and families aren’t just coming in for competition, they’re spending the weekend at Lake Decatur, exploring local restaurants and entertainment, and enjoying a destination that feels welcoming, organized, and relaxed from the moment they arrive. The Decatur Area Convention & Visitors Bureau works directly with event organizers to support every step of the process, from hotel blocks and welcome materials to promotion and on-the-ground assistance.
