This week’s Weekend Pulse is brought to you by Al's Country Market. June kicks the door open in Marion County with live blues, patio music, karaoke, trivia, farmers markets, the Hot Tamale Bicycle Tour, bulls and barrels, country brunch, outdoor exploring, and a summer concert in the park.

From downtown Marion to Waldo, Prospect, Caledonia, and the Tallgrass Trail, the first full weekend of June has plenty of reasons to get out.

This Week's Weekend Pulse is brought to you by Shamrock Insurance Agency - The last weekend of May is coming in loud.

StevieMac brings the Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks experience to the Palace. Local artists take over the Moose. Cars and bikes roll into the Fairgrounds. The Ohio Legends hit the field for their final home game. Downtown has art classes, Shovel City has live music, Tallgrass Trail goes after dark, and OK Café is throwing a summer kickoff dance party.

Marion County gave us a packed one.

There’s a new night-out stretch forming in downtown Marion, and it’s not where everyone thinks.

North Main Street is starting to connect the dots between tacos, cocktails, live music, patios, and after-hours energy — even if a lot of locals still don’t know the area has a name yet.

The St. Mary District may not be household language in Marion, but Taco Central, Fable Bar & Co., Shovel City Drinkery, and the surrounding North Main corridor are giving people a reason to look north of Center Street when planning a night out.

Marion Scenes: Bowstring Bar & Grill in Caledonia!

Bowstring Bar & Grill packs dinner, drinks, live music, and rowdy fun after dark into one party-fueled room!

Family by day. Rowdy by night. Everyone is welcome.

Located at 109 North Water Street in Caledonia, Bowstring is where the Douds family turned the former Wet Spot into a local gathering place named after the village’s historic Bowstring Bridge.

Every Friday, the steaks get their own spotlight: flame-grilled, legendary, and possibly capable of starting a small religion.

Downtown Marion, Inc. has become one of the most visible forces in Marion’s historic downtown — but its role is often misunderstood.

Over three separate interviews — one in person at Baires Restaurant, one by Zoom and one by phone — I spoke with DMI Executive Director Allen Wilson and Board President, Jenny Lust about the organization’s history, Main Street America recognition, current work and the misconceptions that still follow one of Marion’s most visible nonprofits.
