The Popcorn Festival is held in
downtown Marion, Ohio
located 45 miles north of
Columbus, Ohio on State Route 23

For those who are coming to Marion to see the Aerosmith-endorsed tribute band Draw the Line, the Marion Popcorn Festival's 300-unit parade impedes easy access to the downtown area from the east and south from 5:00 - 8:30 p.m.   Our suggestion is to approach the Festival from the north or west.

From Columbus/Delaware via Route 23:  Exit Route 23 on the north side of Marion onto Marion-Williamsport Road (you'll pass the Waldo exit, as well as Route 95 and Route 309).  As you exit Route 23 onto Marion-Williamsport Road, turn right and travel west on Marion-Williamsport Road until you reach the stoplight at State Route 4-423 (North Main Street).   Turn left and follow North Main Street into the downtown area.

From the west (Kenton/Lima):  Follow Routes 95 and 309 into the downtown area.
