in Marion
A town that goes all in on Halloween and Christmas — plan your trip around the season.
Season’s greetings
Hey friend,
I found a place that’s really into Halloween and really into Christmas — just like us! You might want to plan your trip around the holidays so you can come to some of these events. They’re very different from what we’re used to, but I had a really good time while I was here!
Holiday happenings
Candlelight tours, tree lightings, the Feast of the Seven Fishes and the Pepperoni Roll Drop.
