There always seems to be something going on, either just down the street from you or in the next town over. Here’s a few annual happenings to keep an eye out for, broken out by town...

September 28 – October 27 (Open Saturdays and Sundays, 10am - 7pm)

2400 Cotton Gin Rd.

Uhland (Kyle), TX 78640

Formerly known as the Dripping Springs Pumpkin Festival, this autumn wonderland event moved to this new location because they needed more space, and more parking! You’ll see why when you get here – games, live entertainment, seasonal food and beverages, local artisans and crafts, and of course, lots of photos in the huge pumpkin patch!
