Welcome to Red Bud
Where Small Town Traditions Meet Progress and Opportunity
Located in the northwest section of Randolph County, Illinois, the city of Red Bud is just a short commute from metropolitan St. Louis and roughly six miles from the Kaskaskia River, a tributary of the Mississippi River and a main thoroughfare for both industry and recreation.
Three state highways - Illinois routes 3, 154 and 159 - converge at the city’s four way stop. Two airports - MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Ill., and St. Louis Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Mo., - are less than an hour from the city center. Thanks to Red Bud’s easy access to transportation by land, water and air, the thriving city is a top tier location for manufacturers and industry.
For residents, Red Bud is a welcoming community steeped in small town values and traditions. Visit one of Blossom City’s shops or restaurants to discover the friendly charm of our town!
