What are some fall festivals in Texas?
Texas knows how to celebrate fall. So, it should come as no surprise that we have a ton of fun fall events going on. Here are a few fall festivals in Texas to plan for:
- P-6 Farms, Montgomery, TX: One of the largest fall festivals in Texas can be found at P-6 Farms. With more than 20 attractions to keep your family entertained, it is an event you'll want to return to year after year with sunflower fields and corn mazes to pig races and kid-friendly rollercoasters. Of course, no fall festival worth its salt would dare to miss out on plenty of pumpkins and apple cider donuts.
- Beachtoberfest, Port Aransas, TX: This fall festival is like none other - only Texas could pull off Beachtoberfest. For eight whole weeks, you'll enjoy sand pumpkin "carving" haunted hayrides, shopping deals, and the Beach Pumpkin Hustle 5K. Oh, and the most amazing Texas BBQ around!
- San Antonio’s Pizza Festival, San Antonio, TX: We bet you've gone to a BBQ festival or even a crawfish festival, but pizza? San Antonio pulls out all of the stops with this unique foodie festival in October. Head to the Alamo Biscuit Company for a huge selection of pizza styles and tastes to fill every one of your pizza cravings.

- GrapeFest, Grapevine, TX: It sure is fitting that this annual festival in September is held in Grapevine, TX. We hope your stomping feet are warmed up because there and a ton of grapes that need to be pulverized into fine wines. It isn't all dancing on grapes though. you'll get to witness the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the U.S. Then, you can get your groove on with live music and dancing of another, slightly less messy, sort.
