Southern Illinois Taco Festival

🌮🔥 SOUTHERN ILLINOIS TACO FESTIVAL IS BACK! 🔥🌮
The tacos are returning… and this year is going to be even bigger.
Join us for the 2nd Annual Southern Illinois Taco Festival — a high-energy night celebrating local restaurants, bold flavors, and community impact.
🎟 Your Ticket Includes:
• 3 dinner-sized tacos
• 1 dessert
• Unlimited toppings
• Chips & salsa
• Non-alcoholic drinks
This year features two sessions for the best possible experience:
🕔 Session 1: 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
🕖 Session 2: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Choose your session when purchasing tickets.
🚨 EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE LIMITED
Available until March 15 or until sold out — whichever happens first.
⭐ VIP Upgrade Available!
Upgrade your ticket to receive:
• One additional taco
• Early entry (up to 10 minutes before doors open)
• Access to a shorter entry line
Because tacos are important… but skipping the line is also important.

Come hungry. Bring friends. Support local.
This is one Southern Illinois event you don’t want to miss.
There’s also an optional add-on of a VIP pass giving you access 15 minutes early, so you won’t miss out on that taco you’ve been dreaming of! VIP passes are $5/person.
Make sure you get your tickets early – there are only a limited number of early bird tickets!
Tickets will include unlimited chips, salsa, and drinks, as well as two basic taco tickets and one premium taco ticket (items labeled upon arrival). You can also purchase more taco tickets at the entrance.
All proceeds are donated to Marion Connects, a 501c3 not-for-profit community development organization creating a stronger community through advocacy, volunteerism, growth, & renewal. We are a citizen-led collaboration dedicated to making Marion the premier place in southern Illinois to live, work, visit, shop, and play. Funds will be used for various activities put on by the group, including Third Thursdays, activities in the park, community clean ups, and more.
