The 2026 Magnolia Days Festival is coming to Columbus, and the countdown has begun. Presented by Todd and Morgan Barten, the festival takes over the historic Courthouse Square on Friday and Saturday, May 15 and 16, for two days of family-friendly fun. The festivities kick off at 5 p.m. on Friday and continue at noon on Saturday. Admission to Magnolia Days is free, and parking is plentiful throughout the downtown area.
The Family Fun Zone will be packed with activities for kids and the “young at heart,” including a petting zoo, pony rides, inflatables, trackless train rides and carnival games. Festivalgoers can also test their mettle on the mechanical bull or try their luck at the dunking booth. There is truly something for everyone at Magnolia Days.
