Our Town: You will never find a community that supports its kids like Magnolia! From our corporate businesses and industries, our local banks and town merchants to the District’s educators and support staff, there are innumerable people who will invest in your child's life inside and outside the classroom.

The local Chamber of Commerce offers many exciting opportunities for families including autumn and winter activities, such as Fall Festival, the Scarecrow Crawl, Merrytime in Magnolia, and Christmas Open House. Magnolia also hosts the Magnolia Blossom Festival and World Champion Steak Cookoff in May of each year where our town square transforms into an entertainment space full of food trucks and close to 80 steak competitors vying for the title of champion. The Magnolia Blossom Festival also hosts an art show each year where local artists submit artwork to be judged. The city park is home to a splash pad, skatepark, and new pickleball courts. Our town is blessed to be the home of Southern Arkansas University (SAU), which brings a vibrant feel to our community as many Mulerider students and athletes engage with our kids through various volunteer opportunities. There is always something to do in Magnolia! Entertainment that boosts a positive community spirit includes but are not limited to Boys and Girls Club, high school, and college sporting events, SAU Rodeos, art and theatre productions presented by the SAU Theatre Department, Magnolia High School Theatre Department, and Magnolia Arts. For those who love the outdoors, Logoly State Park is a place to check out! Logoly’s natural resources provide a living laboratory for students and visitors. Most of Logoly’s 370 acres comprise a State Natural Area that includes unique plant species and mineral springs. Park facilities also include a bathhouse with hot showers, a pavilion, picnic sites, a playground, and multiple trails.

Magnolia also has many daycare options for our youngest Magnolians where they can be cared for, loved, and prepared for enrollment in the Magnolia Walker-Pre-Kindergarten Center and Magnolia Kindergarten Center! For more information on all these different aspects of our community click here!
