If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning a trip to our little corner of Waco, Texas…
We can’t wait to welcome you to our hometown!
The things we value most as a company all come together on this 5.2 acre property in the heart of Waco—quality time with family and friends, delicious food, blooming beauty, good ol’ fashioned fun, and, at the center of it all, space for creating meaningful moments.
Every year in March, we host an annual, free event called Spring at the Silos to welcome the long-awaited season. This year, it’s spanning over two weekends, March 8–9 & 15–16, which is just around the corner! To serve as a starting point for your visit, we’ve put together an itinerary of all things Magnolia and Spring at the Silos. (Psst! Not sure where to start?
