The 2021 Uptown Marion Market will look a little different this year. With the renovation to the Depot and several anticipated construction projects surrounding City Square Park, Uptown Marion Market will be relocating for the season. We are excited to remain in the Uptown and will be located at the corner of 8th Avenue and 12th Street.
