Uptown Marion Market &
​Fall Marion market

Historically held in City Square Park, the Uptown and Fall Marion Markets offer fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, Iowa wines, and a wide variety of artisan items - all from local vendors. Grab a bite to eat in the Uptown and enjoy live entertainment from some of the areas finest musicians.
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.​

The market will continue to navigate public health measures to ensure a safe and healthy event as directed by the state of Iowa. Our priority will remain on the safety of vendors, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees while offering the public access to local products. ​

Health and Safety Guidelines
In addition to the standards we have all been following, like handwashing and social distancing, please follow these guidelines:
  • Use the designated entry and exit points.  Follow instructions for flow of traffic in the market area.
  • Please wear a face covering. Attendees are strongly encouraged to wear a mask or other protective face-covering if unable to maintain a distance of six feet from others. Volunteers and vendors will be masked.
  • Shop efficiently to expedite your trip to the market. 
  • Look for signage at vendor tents to see what’s available and let the Vendor serve you.

Market Weather

Safety is the number one priority if severe weather threatens Uptown Marion Market.

If it is raining, grab your umbrella and come on out, market will go on rain or shine. However, if the rain comes along with thunder or lightning, our first priority is to make sure everyone is safe. If you are planning to come to market and severe weather is in the forecast, make sure to check the Marion Chamber of Commerce facebook page (@MarionIAChamber) frequently. We will post any announcements there.

If you are at Uptown Marion Market when weather becomes an issue, please follow these guidelines:
  • If lightning has been spotted, people will be asked to leave the market area or be directed to their vehicles until 30 minutes have passed lightning/thunder free.
  • If more than 60 minutes have passed and the storm continues or the Market Master can verify an extended storm cell’s presence exceeding the remaining open hours of the Market, the Market will be closed for the day.
