Fall’s here, y’all. And while we know in Texas autumn is more of a concept than a climate-based phenomenon, it’s still a choice time of the year to celebrate the season’s delicacies, primarily pumpkin. Get knee deep in the season’s harvest at the Dallas Arboretum, where Autumn at the Arboretum has returned for the season!
Every year, the Dallas Arboretum holds their beloved (and highly acclaimed) autumn festival. The expression “everything is bigger in Texas” holds true at the Arboretum. Now in its 19th year, Autumn at the Arboretum features a dazzling display of autumn flowers embellished with the likes of 100,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash sourced from the pumpkin capital of Texas, Floydada.
Key attractions at Dallas’ Autumn at the Arboretum include the Pumpkin Village, which this year will feature a Texas Town theme through pioneer life.
Per custom, the festival will feature daily programming such as their scavenger hunts, seasonal tastings, pumpkin hikes, squash art, and horticulture presentations.
The Dallas Arboretum will host a series of special events including Pumpkins & Pints Nights, Fall Vendor Market at Craft Fair, International Coffee Day Celebration, Gourd Show and Sale, Flea Style Hat Bar Pop Up, and Halloweekend on October 26 and 27.
Visitors can also expect special live music and performances throughout the season.
Autumn at the Arboretum takes place at the Dallas Arboretum located at 8525 Garland Road from September 21 to November 3.
Tickets are available on the Dallas Arboretum website. Tickets are priced at $22 for adults; $13 for children (2 – 12); $18 for seniors (65+); and are free for children under two years old.
