The 21st Annual Gardendale Magnolia Festival is the Total Family Experience: While mom and grandma are shopping at 150 vendor booths, dad and grandpa can enjoy the classic car show. The kids and teenagers will enjoy the midway carnival while the younger children can ride ponies and take advantage of the free art classes all day as well as the free kids zone. Cookie eating contest for kids. The whole family will enjoy two free stages of live entertainment and artisan demonstrations.
