15th Annual Livermush Festival

Downtown Marion

May 28, 2023

If you are a liver-mush lovin' southerner, make plans to visit Downtown Marion for a "squealin'" good time at the annual Livermush Festival. There will be kids' activities, a hog callin' and pig squealin' contest, and a food truck rodeo, with the best Food Truck Liver Mush dish earning a trophy. Plus, Little Miss McDowell will perform on stage, and live performances from Wiregrass.

Stop by and see  Chainsaw Artist, Chris Markey, who will be performing live demonstrations. Some of his work will be available for purchase. Kids' area activities include a Jumpn' Around, face painting, and a balloon artist.
