Metropolis Illinois Annual Superman Celebration Taking Place June 10th-12th
The 44th Annual Metropolis Illinois Superman Celebration is coming up in June, and if you're a Superman fan, you won't want to miss it!

The Adopted Home of Superman
Metropolis Illinois is known as the adopted home of Superman, and there's no shortage of Superman for fans to enjoy in this town.
Here's what Metropolis Tourism says about being the adopted home of Superman:
Where heroes and history meet on the shores of the majestic Ohio River. This All-American town has been a must visit destination for Superman fans since being authorized by National Periodicals (D.C. Comics) to be known as the adopted "Home of Superman" in January 1972. Metropolis has become more than a comic fan Mecca. With world-renown events that celebrate the history, hunting and yes, Superman; as well as, an action packed casino and outdoor wonders that take you through the Shawnee National Forest or even under water through a Boeing 727 Airplane, Metropolis is a town that has been added to many bucket lists!
