MARION — The City of Marion will host a downtown Christmas event around Tower Square on Saturday, Dec. 14 and Sunday, Dec. 15 from 2 to 8 p.m. each day, weather permitting.

Cody Moake is with the City of Marion.

The fee will be $10 for adults and $5 for children for ice skating which includes the skate rental, and $10 per family for carriage rides. Food vendors will also be set up for a fee. Various restaurants and shops will also be open during the event.

Moake says everything was donated for this year’s event through some private donations. The money made off this year’s event will go to support the event next year.
