Danville offers more than a dozen active arts organizations, from the Lincoln Park Theater to the Danville Light Opera Company, and a downtown full of giant murals created by the world-famous Walldogs. Recreation opportunities abound with 17 parks and four golf courses, and there is a nice selection of locally owned shops and restaurants.

Tucked against the Illinois-Indiana border on Interstate 74, Danville is an easy 90-mile drive to Indianapolis, home of the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway and widely regarded as the amateur sports capital of the United States. Danville is also just 35 miles from the University of Illinois flagship campus in Urbana-Champaign.
