The First Friday Night Summer Concert series is brought to you by the City of Marion, the Marion Business Association, and by generous donations from the community. The series starts the first Friday in May and continues through August with a variety of musical performances by regionally-based bands. Concerts start at 6:30pm and last until 8:00pm. So bring a lawn chair, a picnic basket, and enjoy the music. Concerts are free to the community and take place on the courthouse lawn located on Main Street in downtown Marion. 
The Downtown Promotions Committee is responsible for organizing concerts.  If you would like to sponsor a concert or have interest in performing you are encouraged to contact the Marion Business Association at (828) 652-2215 or email info@hometownmarion.com.
