Marion Winter Lights have long been the heart of our community, symbolizing unity and joy.  With new investments in City Square Park and the new Central Plaza, it is a wonderful time to further enhance the area, ensuring its continued role as the focal point of our community.   

In recent years, The Marion Chamber’s Marion Leadership In Action (MLIA) classes have raised funds to support various beautification projects throughout our community. This year's class is looking to build upon the work of our previous classes with two new light installations - a sleigh and a giant walk-through gift.

Both installations will surprise and delight residents and visitors of all ages and will provide the perfect backdrop for family and friend outings and photos. Enhanced winter lighting will serve as a magnet for increased foot traffic, drawing both locals and tourists to Marion, contributing to the economic vitality of our community.

As an important partner in our community, thank you for your consideration in supporting this longstanding beautification project! Your generosity truly helps Marion continue our community’s brand promise, “to be the best place in the Midwest to raise a family and grow a business."
