Magnolia Holds Its First City Fall Festival on November 7. The City Council Is Going in the Dunk Tank.
By The Magnolia Standard · October 20, 2026
Two free Saturdays in a row. Halloween on FM 1488, then a first for the city at Unity Park.
The City of Magnolia has never thrown a fall festival of its own. The first one is Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Unity Park.
Admission is free. The city's listing promises more than 60 local vendors, games for every age, food and drinks, and a dunk tank with Magnolia City Council members in the seat.
Some of the vendors were already named by late August: dirty sodas, lemonade, jams and jellies, cookies, ice cream, shaved ice, hot dogs, roasted corn, coffee, beaded crafts and permanent jewelry. The city said spaces were limited and was still looking for boutiques, makers and food trucks.
November 7, the short version
- Where: Unity Park, 19450 Unity Park Drive, Magnolia.
- When: Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Cost: free to get in. Vendors charge for what they sell.
- Selling something: the city takes vendor questions at mhesse@cityofmagnolia.com or 936-297-3497.
The week before: Fall Fest on Halloween
The Southwest Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce's Fall Fest is still on for Saturday, October 31, at the Magnolia Event Center, 11659 FM 1488. It starts at 11 a.m. and is free. Expect trick-or-treating, a costume contest, crafts, face painting, pumpkin-patch photos and an artisan market.
The ask at the door has not changed since we first wrote about it on September 8: cereal and jelly for the Society of Samaritans, which feeds children over the Thanksgiving and Christmas school breaks.
One thing has changed. The closing time. The listing we used in September said 4 p.m.; the current one says 3. If the costume contest is the reason you are going, get there early.
