Magnolia Market at the Silos, commonly called Magnolia Market, is a shopping complex that encompasses two city blocks in downtown Waco, Texas. It is marked by two 120’ high silos, built in 1950 as part of the Brazos Valley Cotton Oil Company. The Brazos Valley Cotton Oil Mill Company closed in 1958, and the silos ceased to serve as storage in the 1990s. The grounds opened to the public in October, 2015. The complex is owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines, TV personalities best known for HGTV's Fixer Upper TV series. The Gaineses completely transformed the Waco landmark, which helped to change the city as well as many surrounding areas.Use our Waco holiday builder app to arrange your visit to Magnolia Market Silos and other attractions in Waco.
The grounds include a 12,000 sq. ft. retail store located in the historic grain barn and office building, a food truck park with picnic tables, a garden store, bakery, and lawn area. Admission to the grounds is free except during special events.
In 2016, its first full year of operation, Magnolia Market reported an estimated 1.9 million visitors. Special events are held regularly at the complex, including Spring at the Silos (March), Silobration (October), and Christmas at the Silos. Events include concerts, vendor booths, and other activities.
In 2019, it was announced that Magnolia Market is undergoing a $10.4 million expansion. The expansion plans include adding new shops and public spaces to the two-block area anchored by the Silos. Attractions include a whiffle ball field, more shops, and gardens, as well as the relocation of the historic Waco Church to the 4.9-acre site. Magnolia Market Complex already draws an estimated 30,000 visitors per week.

Simply Amazing!!! Make the trip. It is very close to being a destination experience. We absolutely love it. Really good prices on baked goods and many food trucks surround the courtyard. We got demo dogs. They were $10.25 and worth it. Sweet chili, cheese, crispy onions, and Fritos. Messy but so worth it. Another truck had tea served in glass quart mason jars with metal lids and attached straws and the jars are a souvenir. The tea was $9 and so good. There is lots of room to wander. Many shops with various themes and products. We will definitely be back!!!

Definitely worth visiting if you’re a fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines (like me)! The park-like atmosphere was peaceful and people were very friendly. My mom said it was “like a breathe of fresh air”. The bakery had very affordable prices, but be prepared for long lines at the food trucks if you go during lunch time. The best drink deal is the 24oz of Alabama Sweet Tea, that you can keep the mason jar it comes in. The home items were understandably higher priced but that didn’t stop us from having a great time and experience here. :)
