Planning for the 2019 Marion Popcorn Festival is underway and this year is proving to be even more exciting than last.

The theme for the 2019 festival is “Celebrating Super Heroes”.

Do you have a super hero? A super hero doesn’t only exist in your favorite comic book. Your super hero can be your mom, your dad, a grandparent, a policeman, a firefighter, a teacher, a veteran, a friend or relative actively fighting for our country; it can be anyone “super” in your life.

If you have a question for an event associated with the Popcorn Festival, please email marionpopcornfestival@gmail.com or you may also message the festival via Facebook (@marionpopcornfestival) or Instagram (@marionpopcorn).

The organizers of the Marion Popcorn Festival would like to issue a huge THANK YOU to the City of Marion, all of our sponsors, volunteers and the community for a successful festival in 2018.

We are already gearing up for a bigger and better festival in 2019. Mark your calendars for September 5, 6 and 7, 2019. The festival theme and details will be announced in 2019!
