Joanna Gaines has mastered the art of entertaining, and when it comes to her Magnolia Silos, she’s the ultimate host. As an interior designer and television personality, she gained fame alongside her husband, Chip, as they became beloved home renovation experts on their hit HGTV show Fixer Upper. Since then, the couple has built a successful empire that includes a houseware and frozen baked goods line sold at Target, various books, and most notably, their Magnolia Silos.
A thriving travel destination, the Gaines family transformed their corner of Waco, Texas into a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and shopping. This spring, they’re offering a variety of exciting events, some of which are even free! Whether you live in the area, are planning a trip, or are just passing through on your way to Easter Sunday, there’s plenty to do at Magnolia’s Spring at the Silos.
