Discover the Iconic Marion Cultural and Civic Center
Located in the heart of downtown Marion, Illinois, the Marion Cultural and Civic Center (MCCC) stands as a testament to the city’s commitment to the arts, culture, and community enrichment. This award-winning venue has served as the centerpiece for entertainment and civic life in Southern Illinois since its grand reopening in 2004, following a full reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1997.
Originally built in 1922 as part of the Orpheum Theater circuit, the center underwent extensive renovations and was transformed into a state-of-the-art performance venue through the dedication of local community members. Today, the Marion Cultural and Civic Center hosts a wide variety of live entertainment events—from Broadway-style productions and orchestral performances to comedy shows, concerts, film screenings, and community presentations. With a stunning modern design housed within a historic framework, it delivers an unmatched audience experience in a charming small-town setting.
