On Saturday, Marion celebrated the Culturas Unidas Festival for 2026.

Centro Unido Latino Americano brought the Culturas Unidas Festival 2026 to Main Street in downtown Marion. This special event creates a space where different cultures, languages, traditions and generations come together and where thousands of people have an opportunity to see the Latino community through a different lens, according to a previous story by The McDowell News.
