Howdy there, folks! Can you believe it? We're smack dab in the middle of summer, and before you know it, the kids will be back in school, and fall will be upon us! So while we're all enjoying our summer break, let's start looking forward to the fantastic fall festivities that are just around the corner. Here are my top three picks of things to do when the heat dies down and the cool kids come out to play!
First up on the list is the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival, happening from October 6th to 8th. This festival is a real FREE gem and one of Denton's signature events. It's like a hot jazz session with a side of vibrant art! Thousands of visitors flock to this extravaganza to soak up the sweet tunes and admire the incredible works of talented artists. It's a family-friendly affair, so bring the little ones along. And hey, while you're there, don't forget to explore the nearby shops and eateries. You never know what treasures you might find!
Next, we have the Bloomin Bluegrass Festival in Farmer's Branch, taking place on October 20th and 21st. Picture this: toe-tapping beats, banjos strumming, and Ricky Skaggs stealing the show (he is headlining this year!) This festival is the place to be for all you bluegrass enthusiasts out there. Not only will you be treated to some top-notch musical performances, but there will also be an array of vendors to satisfy your festival cravings. Just remember, you'll need a ticket to get in. And if you find yourself feeling extra festive, why not book a cozy sleeping accommodation in the area? After all, you don't want to miss a minute of the bluegrass bonanza!
Last but certainly not least, we have the granddaddy of all festivals—the Texas State Fair in Dallas! From September 29th to October 22nd, this historic fair park becomes a mecca for fried food fanatics, live performances, and the legendary Big Tex himself! If you thought you knew what it meant to indulge in fried deliciousness, think again. The State Fair takes things to a whole new level. Deep-fried Oreos, fried butter, fried pickles—you name it, they'll fry it. It's a fried feast for the senses! And while you're munching your way through the fairgrounds, don't forget to catch some of the incredible live shows, ride some rides and, of course, snap a selfie with Big Tex. With over 137 years of history, this fair is truly a Lone Star State tradition you won't want to miss!
So there you have it, folks! Three amazing festivals to mark on your calendars and add to your fall bucket list. Whether you're into jazz, bluegrass, or fried food fantasies, Texas has got you covered. So get ready to trade in your sunscreen for a pair of jeans and embrace the "cooler" weather, because the fun is about to begin! Yeehaw!!
