Fall in Texas means outdoor events are in full swing!  The highest temperatures range from the 70s to 80s Fahrenheit, making it a pleasant time for outdoor activities. You can still enjoy a subtle change in the colors of the leaves. Oaks and other trees may turn shades of yellow and brown. Look out for festivals, art shows, and concerts that benefit from the comfortable weather. No matter what you choose to do, you're sure to have a fun and festive fall in The Woodlands.

Here are some of our favorite fall festivals and events in the area!
