Marietta Main Street Hosts 2023 Annual Celebration

Once a year, we take time to uplift and celebrate area leaders, volunteers, business owners, and property owners who have positively contributed to downtown Marietta. We invite folks from across the Marietta community to nominate individuals, groups, and/or businesses who they feel are worthy of this year's award categories.

The top three nominees in most categories will be celebrated and the award winners will be recognized during our Annual Celebration, our spin on an annual meeting, being held Thursday, October 19th starting at 5:30pm at the Adelphia Music Hall in downtown Marietta, Ohio.
