We're at it again! We had such a good time last year that we're participating in the 4th of July parade in Marion!

We're looking for our younger members from 8 - 17 year old, who are able to join us on July 4th at 9 am.

This year’s parade group will be simple, colorful, and fun, and we’re hoping to include children and teens who would enjoy representing the MAC in one of Marion’s favorite traditions. We will have a brief run-through a few days before the parade so everyone feels comfortable and prepared.

We’re also looking for 2 adult volunteers to help organize the group before the parade and walk alongside the children during the event.

If your child would like to participate, or if you’d like to volunteer, please reply to info@marionartcenter.org ... See MoreSee Less

It's Juneteenth and we're highlighting different ways our community can experience the holiday. @hubtowntours offer a Juneteenth tour/Underground Railway tour with availability through the end of the month. The cost is $35 per person

From their website:
We will explore Boston’s role in the fight to end legalized slavery and celebrate local abolitionists that helped to lead America’s “Second Revolution.” This 2.5-hour walking tour will visit sites along the Black Heritage Trail, including abolitionist landmarks like the African Meeting House and the Lewis and Harriet Hayden House. Along the way, delve deeply into the tumultuous years before the U.S. Civil War when 19th-century Bostonians grappled with the institution of slavery and demanded an end to racial injustice across their young nation.

Tickets are available from @hubtowntours Hub Town Tours ... See MoreSee Less
