May is a wonderful time to visit Mineral Wells. Spring is still showing off, summer is starting to peek around the corner, and the town calendar begins to fill with fun events and evenings out. The gardens are lively, the mornings are pleasant, and there’s a little more energy in the air.
If you’ve been needing a getaway with charm, comfort, and a good reason to slow down for a couple of days, this is a great month to plan a stay at Magpie Inn.
Special Note from the Inn
Over the past few days, we’ve been overwhelmed by the messages, support, and kindness from this community.
The recent tornado impacted areas near Fort Wolters and surrounding neighborhoods, but Mineral Wells is strong—and our tourism areas remain safe and open.
If you’ve been thinking about visiting, now is a meaningful time to come. Supporting local businesses, planning a trip, or simply keeping this community in your thoughts all make a difference.
For those coming to help with relief efforts, we’re offering 20% off your stay (code: HELPMW) along with a simple early breakfast option if your day starts before sunrise.
This community shows up for one another. And we’re grateful to be part of it.
Perch Picks: Flying Pig Festival | May 8–9
Every town needs a little personality, and Mineral Wells has enough to spare.
The Flying Pig Festival is one of those events that feels delightfully local in the best possible way—community spirit, family fun, and the kind of memories you only make when a town fully leans into its own charm.
And this year, Magpie Inn’s own Chef Magen will be hosting the Fork-N-Pork Showdown alongside a lineup of local celebrity chefs. We trust her judgment—and her taste—completely.
If your stay overlaps the festival, you’ll have a front-row seat to one of Mineral Wells’ most beloved traditions.
Perch Picks: Summer Nights (Grease) | May 17
There are some evenings that deserve a little dressing up, a little laughter, and a little music.
Summer Nights brings the spirit of Grease to town on May 17—a playful night out that pairs nicely with a stay at the Inn.
Make an evening of it, then come back to soft sheets, quiet rooms, and no need to rush home.
Critter Chronicles: Four Legs Welcome
Traveling with your pup?
Daffy approves.
Just a couple of blocks from Magpie Inn, Wagley Tails Dog Park offers a nearby spot for sniffing, stretching legs, and making new friends.
And back at the Inn, we take things a step further.
Our Bark-fast is a chef-prepared breakfast just for your pup—because, after all, it’s their vacation too.
The Bark-fast package includes a pet-friendly breakfast designed to make their stay just as memorable as yours. Around here, we believe every guest deserves a great experience…whether they have two legs or four.
And you can check out all our pet-friendly favorites in Mineral Wells here.
Postcard from Magpie Inn: Game On
Mineral Wells is full of outdoor adventure, but as the warmer months roll in, afternoons can get a little toasty. That’s the perfect time to head to the game room.
Stocked with puzzles, cards, and board games, it’s a cozy spot to cool off, sip coffee, and settle in for a while.
Whether you’re here to win or just enjoy the company, it’s a good place to spend an hour—or three.
From our perch to yours,
Magpie Inn
