Marion's Tailgate Market opens for 2026 season. See photos here.

On Saturday, May 2, Marion celebrated the first Tailgate Market for 2026, and photographer John Sacco was there to capture the event in photos.

“Our vendors provided a great selection of vegetables and merchandise,” Sacco said. “But more important, we met our friends and neighbors and renewed friendships. Our Market provides a great location to meet old friends and make new ones in our Mountain Community. See you all there next week.”
