Welcome to the 48th Annual Marigold Days

September 7 & 8, 2013

It all began with the humble marigold, a hearty and colorful little flower native to the Americas.  Initially begun as a flower show to promote the planting of marigolds throughout the Mantorville community, with the sponsorship of Marigold Dairies, this event has grown to be on one the region's best known and most annual attended festivals. 

Marigold Days offers something for everyone.  Antique & Flea market, Flower Show, Quilt Show, Car Show, Melodramas, Music, Dances, a 5K Run, lots of really good food, a Grande Pararde, Fireworks and a Baseball Tournament.

This site will give you event information and driving directions to Mantorville.
