The Holidays are here!

The holidays are just around the corner, and there is nowhere outside of the North Pole with more to enjoy for the season than Marion County!

We’re setting the town alight with decorations (and holiday spirit) starting November 28 with the glowing, grand Celebration of Lights. Then the whole town blazes with Christmas jubilation! Parades in the streets and cheer in the air!

Just a few of the holiday highlights:

• Want unique gifts? Really unique? Shop somewhere really original: the past! Browse the 18th Century Christmas Market for frontier-era crafts, decorations and more.
• Take a taste trip to Italy to celebrate the season with 7 courses of lavish seafood! The Feast of the 7 Fishes Festival includes cooking demos, Italian treats, music, dancing and more!
• If the old homes here could talk, they’d wish you happy holidays and recount decades worth of gripping stories. Explore their decked halls and true tales at the Historic Homes Tour.
• Palatine Park transforms into a winter wonderland! Don some free skates and slide gracefully across the ice.

Come immerse yourself in Marion County’s Christmas joy. There’s plenty to go around!
