Marion’s Magpie Christmas market runs Nov. 13–15: hours and what to check before going

Marion's Pavilion is preparing for a three-day Christmas market this weekend, with Magpie Market Days scheduled for Nov. 13–15, 2026. The venue's published calendar lists more than 100 vendors, food trucks, live music and a visit from Santa and his reindeer.

For people planning a shopping trip, the key detail is that the closing time changes on the final day. Friday and Saturday shopping is listed from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday's hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All event times in this article are Marion local time.

The practical details

• Friday, Nov. 13: 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Saturday, Nov. 14: 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Sunday, Nov. 15: 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
• Venue: The Pavilion, 1602 Sioux Drive, Marion.

The listing describes what organizers plan to offer. It is not a report of attendance or a guarantee that every attraction operates continuously during all shopping hours. The calendar does not give a separate schedule for the Santa appearance or a complete vendor-by-vendor roster.

What the listing does not establish

The venue's calendar does not state an admission price in the entry we reviewed. Do not assume that a market is free simply because the calendar is publicly available. Before leaving, check the organizer's current event information for admission arrangements, any ticket requirements, parking instructions and accessibility details.

The venue publishes 618-993-2657 as its contact number. Asking in advance is especially useful if a particular attraction is the reason for your visit or if a member of your group needs an accommodation.

This is a visitor-planning summary of the Pavilion's own announcement, not an independently inspected vendor guide or a sponsored recommendation. The source link below is the place to recheck the event if the schedule changes.
