Every year in October, we host a free event called Silobration to commemorate the anniversary of Magnolia Market’s grand opening at the Silos. This year, it’s taking place October 22–25, which is just around the corner! We hope you’ll join us for even more music, more vendors, and more fun. This means a lineup of (four!) concerts, live music during the day, good food, and pop-ups from some of our favorite brands and partners.

To serve as a starting point for your visit, we’ve put together a weekend itinerary of all things Magnolia and Silobration. For the first time, we’ll even be open on Sunday! Let’s get into it…

Welcome to Waco! Let the good times roll…

• First order of business: Take some time to get settled and check into your hotel if visiting from out of town. Don’t forget to explore Hotel 1928, as seen on Fixer Upper: The Hotel.
  
• Next, head over to the Silos to get the lay of the land and start planning out your weekend. Fun news! If you’re a Home Team member, you’re invited to a free gathering at Katy Ballpark. Click here to get the details and RSVP. (Check your email for the code.)
  
• If you have time to spare, pop over to our merch tent (located near the entrance at 6th St. and Webster Ave.) to stock up on some Silobration gear, then grab a treat from our Coffee & Cupcakes food truck to start your trip on a sweet note.
