Welcome to Summer Du Quoin:
As we get ready to enjoy the 4th of July weekend, many of us are wondering how we are going to do that? It isn’t going to be like any 4th of July in the past.
Fortunately for Illinois, we are entering Phase 4 of the reopening plan. Du Quoin’s restaurants are opening, but with new rules. You’ll find the staff and servers all wearing masks and gloves. New sanitation procedures will be in place, and the tables will have been rearranged to provide safe distance. Take a moment to enjoy Du Quoin’s restaurants. You’ll enjoy the experience.
As for City Hall. We are open. It always helps to make an appointment if you need to see us, but if we are here, we will visit with you and provide any help we can. If you need to see me and I am here, do stop by. All of us are here to serve the people of Du Quoin and its visitors.
Do know that we are practicing social distancing, and we do wear masks when visitors arrive. Also, we have been sanitizing our facilities. Unfortunately, we cannot open the parks because of the danger of catching and spreading Covid-19. Contact tracking would be extremely difficult if an incident occurred in one of our parks.
The good news is that we will be able to open the Pool for supervised activities. Beginning the 1st of July, the Pool will be open to the public with the following schedule:
Monday to Friday
Noon to 2PM, 2:30 to 4:30PM, 5:00 to 7PM
Saturday
12:00 to 2PM, 2:30 to 4:30PM
Sunday
Noon to 2PM
Only 42 swimmers will be allowed at a session. And, we’ll be taking temperatures plus practicing social distancing. Enjoy the Pool and be Safe.
Enjoy the Summer in Du Quoin,
Guy H. Alongi

Mayor's Message
Dear Friends and Visitors: Du Quoin welcomes you! Whether you live and work here, or are visiting to enjoy one of our many events and activities, you have come to a town where the people are knowingly friendly and caring, and always helpful. Du Quoin is a happening place. For decades this town of just over 6000 people has been know across the country for its hospitality and resources. Ask a NASCAR driver where Du Quoin is, he’ll tell you. Run into some Airstream campers in California, they’ll tell you about their stay in Du Quoin. Horse racing, auto racing, cattle roping, rodeo bull riding, sports tournaments, flea markets, shining holiday lights, home shows, NubAbility training, a great State Fair, and more—it all happens in Du Quoin. And, Du Quoin has a real downtown, a historic downtown. Our residents have devoted their energy and work to maintaining a picturesque and authentic downtown. The City has kept the infrastructure up to date, and newly paved roads welcome our residents and guests. If you walk along Main Street, it will be impossible for you to stay out of the shops and restaurants. Marshall Browning Hospital, the Middle School and High School, they are all new and utilize the latest technology. The churches of Du Quoin serve the major faiths. Keyes Park will help entertain the children. This Town of six thousand people has all the resources a person would need. But, it has another asset not found everywhere. Du Quoin is a small town with welcoming warmth, and it is always friendly and safe. It is an honor to serve as Mayor of Du Quoin. As Mayor it is my task and intent to serve the needs of our residents, guests and visitors. If you need to know anything about our “doing” town, there are numbers of ways to find an answer. Call the City Hall, 618-542-3841. Go to: www.duquointourism.org. Call the Chamber of Commerce at 618-542-9570, or the Tourism Commission at 618-542-8338. Contact me personally at guyalongi@duquoin.org. Whether you are a resident or visitor, enjoy Du Quoin!
Serving Always,
Guy Alongi, Mayor
