What People are Saying

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to visit the Magnolia Silos?
Any time of year! Waco usually sees our best weather in the Spring or Fall, and if you want to plan to attend one of our annual events, those usually take place in October (Silobration) and March (Spring at the Silos). Summer is also usually less crowded, and we have plenty of spots indoors and in the shade to beat the heat!
What is the best day of the week to visit the Magnolia Silos?
The slowest foot traffic at the Silos tends to be mid-week: Tuesday – Thursday.
How can I be notified the next time you announce an event?
Make sure you’ve joined Magnolia Perks! With your free Magnolia Perks account, you’ll receive emails about our upcoming events and more. You can sign up for Magnolia Perks here.
Is it best to visit the Silos during an event?
The Silos property is ready to welcome guests every Monday – Saturday, but we really put on the best show during our events. If you prefer smaller crowds, non-event days are your best option!
Do you offer group discounts for event tickets?
Our group discounts only apply to non-event weekends.
How do I become a vendor at a Magnolia event?
We release vendor applications through our @visitmagnolia social channel several months before Silobration. Keep an eye out for opportunities to apply!
