Marbles Program

2024 Marbles Program

Allegheny County hosts a free annual marble competition series for youth ages 7-14 and under. The winners of each qualifying tournament will receive a t-shirt, marbles, and marble shooting rules. Previous knowledge and experience is not required, as instructors are onsite to teach children how to play and oversee the tournaments.

All local tournament champions qualify for the Allegheny County Marbles Championship. The championship will be held at the Allegheny County Courthouse Courtyard from Thursday, May 16, 2024 - Saturday, May 18, 2024. Winners of the countywide marbles championship, two boys and two girls, will receive a partial-expenses-paid trip to Wildwood, New Jersey to compete in the 101^st National Marbles Tournament the week of June 16, 2024.
