A Few Fall Favorites to Carry You Through
Fall festival season in Texas is sprawling and delightful. From Wurstfest’s German flair to the costumed beauty of Renaissance revelry, there’s something for every family’s fall rhythm. Maybe you’ll snap photos among pumpkins at Ruby Creek, cheer at the corn cannon in Georgetown, or wander through artisan booths in Tyler.
Pack the thermos, grab the kids—and go make some autumn memories. If you visit any of these, I’d love to hear about your favorites, special finds, or even help you plan a fall-filled Saturday!
