Midwood Maynia & Home Tour
What is Midwood Maynia?
This favorite festival is Plaza Midwood ’s way to welcome the season, the blossoms, warm weather and to party with friends, family and neighbors. Midwood Maynia is sponsored in part and produced by the Plaza Midwood Neighborhood Association and is always scheduled for the first weekend in May. The event features the famous home and garden tour, 5k race, kids events, live bands, a pet parade, vendors, food, beer, ... and more! There is just no better way to spend a spring day in the neighborhood.
