Southern Illinois Taco Festival
This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant
Marion Connects is putting on their first ever Southern Illinois Taco Festival! We will be serving a variety of taco (and nacho) fillings from restaurants from throughout the region. Bulgogi, pulled pork, grilled shrimp, and the classics will be available to try, all from local restaurants. We’ll also have all the toppings, virgin margaritas (with an optional cash bar), and – of course – chips, salsa, and queso! While you let your tacos digest, you can peruse our selection of amazing items donated to our silent auction as well!

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.

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.
