Southern Illinois Taco Festival
March 1 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Taco ‘bout a fun time! The Southern Illinois Taco Festival in Marion, IL, is fast
approaching.
Marion Connects, a local not-for-profit organization, is putting on the first ever Southern Illinois
Taco Festival on Friday, March 1st, at 6 pm at Celebrations Event Center in Marion. The event
will feature a selection of meats and salsas from local restaurants, giving ticket holders the
chance to try a variety of tacos in one place.
“We are very excited for this opportunity,” says fundraising co-chair Nicole Miskelley. “So far it
has been very well received – to the point where we had to double our seating! We are excited to
share the selection of unique tacos we have in our region and celebrate with amazing food.”
The event, which is a fundraiser for Marion Connects, will feature over a dozen filling selections,
a full toppings bar, and unlimited chips, salsa, and queso. There will be a silent auction as well,
along with a selfie station, Latina Dancers, a caricature artist, and a cash bar. Desserts will be
provided by Churros y Chocolate.
Tickets for the event are already nearly sold out, but a few remain. Individual tickets are $25, and
multi-ticket purchases are discounted while available. Tickets can be purchased via Zeffy
through the link on their Facebook event, Southern Illinois Taco Festival. For any information,
guests are welcome to contact the Marion Connects Facebook page. All proceeds from the event
will go towards Marion Connects, a 501c3 community organization, and their efforts to connect
and improve the community of Marion.
