February in the City of Marion

There is so much to love about our city and this February we look forward to connecting with you, our community, to keep you up-to-date with the latest news, events and initiatives in your local area.

Concert at the Cove

The City of Marion, in partnership with Fork on the Road, recently organised the popular community event Concert at the Cove.  

 

The event’s highly anticipated return saw guests enjoy a vibrant day of eating, dancing and entertainment as the sun set over Hallett Cove Foreshore.  

 

A big thanks to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a huge success.
