Description
The Southern Illinois Taco Festival is back — and bigger than before!
Join us in Marion for the second Southern Illinois Taco Festival, a community celebration bringing together incredible local food, great company, and a good cause. This event showcases a wide variety of taco creations from restaurants and vendors across the region — from traditional favorites to creative, unexpected twists.
To make the experience even better, the festival will feature two separate sessions, giving guests plenty of time and space to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and festivities at their own pace. Each session offers the same great experience, so you can choose the time that works best for you.
Each ticket gets the ticket holder 3 tacos of their choice from a variety of local restaurants plus all the toppings, 1 dessert, chips, salsa, and non-alcoholic drinks. You can add on a VIP pass for $12 to get early access, a special VIP entrance to jump the line, and an additional taco!
Beyond the tacos, this event is about giving back. A portion of the festival’s proceeds will be donated to Disabled American Veterans (DAV), supporting veterans and their families right here in our community.
Whether you’re a taco enthusiast, a supporter of local businesses, or just looking for a fun night out in Southern Illinois, the Southern Illinois Taco Festival is an event you won’t want to miss.
Come hungry, support local, and help make a difference.
