Marceline Preparing for Influx of Visitors for Disney Celebration

Marceline will host a special event recognizing 100 years of the Walt Disney Company on June 3rd. Marceline served as Walt Disney’s boyhood home. The event is called “Celebrating a Moment in Time.” From noon to 4, there will be a variety of activities, vendors and live music at Ripley Park. City Manager Richard Hoon says this requires several road closures.

At 4, there will be a special event where a Main Street U.S.A. clock will be donated to Marceline’s Walt Disney Museum. A separately-ticketed event will be held at the Walt Disney Farm from 5 to 9 pm and will include a four-course dinner. Hoon says the immediate area will see an influx of people.

The festivities will conclude with a fireworks display. More than 40 vendors are expected to participate.
