EVENTS

Most city-sponsored events are funded through the Marion Advertising & Promotion Commission and coordinated through the Marion Chamber of Commerce. An online calendar is available for the public to add appropriate events here.

​

Regularly-scheduled City A&P-sponsored events include our annual Christmas parade, always a big deal in Marion. Visit the Marion Chamber of Commerce events page for more info here. Miscellaneous promotional events to highlight and promote our local businesses are also held regularly.
