COLUMBUS, TEXAS — The Columbus Chamber of Commerce extends sincere thanks to everyone who supported and attended the Magnolia Days Festival 2026. From volunteers and sponsors to vendors, performers and festivalgoers, the event’s success was made possible through the dedication and participation of the entire community. Looking ahead, plans are already underway for Magnolia Days Festival 2027, scheduled for May 14–15, 2027, so mark your calendars!
The Chamber is proud to report an outstanding turnout and overwhelmingly positive feedback following this year’s festival. Community members came together to celebrate the spirit, hospitality, and traditions that make Columbus such a special place.
The Chamber would also like to extend heartfelt congratulations to all area graduates. This milestone represents years of hard work, dedication and perseverance, and the Chamber wishes each graduate continued success and exciting opportunities in the future. A special congratulations goes to our Jr. Ambassador, Alejandra Diaz. We thank her for her involvement and dedication over the past two years with the Chamber and wish her the very best in all her future endeavors.
As summer begins, the Chamber encourages residents and visitors alike to continue supporting local businesses and participating in the many events and activities taking place throughout the season. Summer brings opportunities to gather, enjoy our town, and support the businesses and organizations that make Columbus unique.
From the Country Market to family-friendly gatherings and community initiatives, summer activities offer meaningful ways for residents to connect with neighbors, explore local offerings, and celebrate the community’s vibrant spirit.
The Chamber invites everyone to attend the next Columbus Country Market on May 30th, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Courthouse Square. Farmers, bakers, artists, authors, artisans, cooks, canners and jam makers will all be featured, offering something for everyone. The event will also include live music, plants, food vendors, and much more.
We would also like to remind everyone about the upcoming 90 Miles on 90 Garage Sale Adventure, taking place June 5–6—a true shopper’s paradise stretching from Sealy to Seguin, with Columbus right in the heart of the treasure hunt.
