Magnolia Winterfest
December 6, 2025
Afternoon to Evening
Greater Magnolia Village

Magnolia Winterfest kicks off the holiday season on Saturday, December 6th with a full day of family-friendly fun!

Start your morning (8am) with Swedish pancakes at Magnolia Lutheran Church, then explore the Holiday Farmers Market (10-2) and Winterfest Marketplace.

Throughout the day, enjoy arts & crafts, Santa photos, caroling, and the beloved tree lighting in Magnolia Village. Evening brings a holiday car show on W. McGraw St, live music, after-hours shopping, and festive bites from local restaurants.

You can get a FREE photo with Santa thanks to our friends at Windermere. Bring the kiddos down from 3-6pm to their office on McGraw to have a memory made.

We’re also partnering with Fire Station 41—families are invited to bring a toy for their annual holiday toy drive. There will also be an ice sculpture being created near Serendipity.

Magnolia Winterfest on December 6th is a joyful way to celebrate the season and support our small businesses who make it all possible—most activities are free and open to all!

Each December, Magnolia Winterfest lights up our neighborhood with joy, creativity, and connection. From holiday arts and crafts to caroling, Santa photos, and the beloved tree lighting, it’s a festive kickoff to the season—and a reminder of what makes our community so special.

This family-friendly celebration is made possible by the incredible generosity of our local small businesses. They pour time, talent, and heart into Winterfest so that families, friends, and neighbors can enjoy the magic—most of it at no cost to participants.

As we step into the holidays, we invite you to shop locally, dine locally, and celebrate locally. Supporting our small businesses during Winterfest—and all year long—is one of the most meaningful ways we can keep Magnolia vibrant, welcoming, and full of possibility.

Thank you for being part of this wonderful community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Warmly, Magnolia Chamber of Commerce
