MARION — The Marion Art Center will join in the community festivities during the Marion Christmas Stroll on Sunday, Dec. 12 from 3:30-5:30 pm.

The MAC’s Christmas Elves will be on the MAC patio serving up free hot chocolate with all the trimmings — marshmallows, whipped cream, candy sprinkles, peppermint candy canes, and chocolate syrup.

The tree lighting ceremony will begin at 5:30 pm in Bicentennial Park.

Visitors can shop for handmade goods and original artwork during the two hour event.

Guests are required to wear masks to enter the Marion Art Center.

In case of rain, this event will be cancelled.
