It’s official: 60-degree mornings have marked the start of a Texas fall. Aside from football and pumpkin flavors galore, autumn brings a host of festive activities to the Austin area. We’ve compiled a list of essential fall activities to take the guesswork out of the season.
Visit a Pumpkin Patch
Looking for the best location for your next family photo? Or maybe searching for the perfect pumpkin to carve? Look no further than your local pumpkin patch. Nothing says fall like pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and hay rides. Enjoy a scenic outing at one of our picks below:
- Mama Mary’s Farm & Pumpkin Patch
- Tarrytown United Methodist Church
- Barton Hill Farms
- Dripping Springs Pumpkin Festival
Craft Breweries
Austin has an abundance of local breweries that have seasonal flavors mastered. From ciders to pumpkin ales, local breweries have it all. Relax in the cooler weather at one of our brewery picks:
For some, fall means scented candles, pumpkin spice lattes, and chunky knits. Others indulge in the spookiness of the season. If you prefer that October be filled with fright, check out one of the many haunted houses that Austin has to offer:
On October 29th, the Mexic-Arte Museum and the City of Austin will present the 39th Annual Viva La Vida Festival and Parade. The event pays tribute to the Latin American tradition of honoring lost loved ones via celebration. Enjoy food, local artists and artisans, and live performances.

Collect Canned Foods
Fall marks the start of the holiday season. For many, the holidays can bring additional stress and hardships. To help out a neighbor, try stocking up on canned goods and non-perishables with every grocery trip. There’s an abundance of places to give back to, and you can deliver your contribution as the holiday demand begins. For more information about items needed or how to donate, head to the links below.
If you plan on checking some of these items off your fall bucket list, tag us on social media. This list is by no means exhaustive, so be sure to let us know about any other activities you discover. #MOREatx
