An Evening at the Inn

As the sun sets, The Magnolia Inn comes alive with music, conversation, and the warm glow of candlelight.

Held in our historic downtown Clayton inn during Last Friday, Candlelight Social transforms our parlors into inviting gathering spaces where guests can mingle, relax, and enjoy live performances from talented local musicians.

This is not a formal concert—it’s an evening designed for lingering conversations, discovering new artists, and experiencing the welcoming atmosphere of the Inn.

Whether you stay for twenty minutes or the entire evening, you’ll find a cozy place to gather.

What to Expect

Live Music

Enjoy performances by talented local musicians in an intimate listening environment where the music becomes part of the evening rather than the entire focus.

Historic Atmosphere

Experience the warmth and character of our beautifully restored historic inn, softly illuminated by candlelight.

Drinks & Light Fare

Wine, beer, and light fare are available for purchase throughout the evening.

Come and Go as You Please

Candlelight Social is designed as a relaxed drop-in event. While free reservations help us plan for attendance, guests are welcome to arrive, linger, and enjoy the evening at their own pace.

A Different Experience Every Month

No two Candlelight Socials are exactly alike.

Throughout the year, we welcome a rotating lineup of local musicians and create an inviting atmosphere that reflects the season. Each gathering offers something new while maintaining the same relaxed spirit of music, hospitality, and community.
