Marigold Medallion Hunt Begins



Marigold Medallion Hunt Begins

The first clue will be released Monday, August 26, 2024 at 12:00 PM.


[PEKIN, IL] The Marigold Medallion Hunt kicks off on Monday, August 26, 2024! The Marigold Medallion has been hidden in a public location somewhere within the city of Pekin. Prepare to find it by tuning in to the Pekin Marigold Festival Facebook page at 12:00 pm for the first clue. Clues crafted by longtime Cluemaster and Grand Marshal of this year’s Marigold Festival, Gary Gillis, will continue to be released daily, Monday through Friday, at 12:00 pm, and on Saturday at 6:30 am, until the Medallion is found. 


The Marigold Medallion hunt is a city-wide hunt for a small disc, hidden in a public location in Pekin. Since 1978, the tradition has transformed Pekin into a treasure map as hunters decode clues from the Cluemaster to uncover the Medallion’s hidden location. 


Everyone is encouraged to participate in this exciting challenge, which combines puzzle-solving, exploration, and a touch of mystery. Participants will need to use their wits and local knowledge to decipher the clues, which will lead them closer to the grand prize — $1,500 cash, courtesy of our friends at Jimmy John’s.


This year’s Medallion was designed and created by Pekin Community High School student Dana Snyder.
