2021 Fall Festivals: Woodlands Edition

Fall is here! Cooler weather, chunky sweaters, boots, and fall festivals! The month of October has so many fun activities to celebrate the fall weather for young and old. We have found a festival for everyone, if you like music, pumpkins, beer (for the over 21 crowd!), and of course trick-or-treating for younger kids then we have got you covered!

Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival

For a fun-filled weekend come on out to Downtown Conroe for the 32nd Annual Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival (October 8-10). The family-friendly event features non-stop live music, food vendors with classic cajun food, arts & crafts, a professional carnival, KidZone area with activities for children, and much, much more.

P-6 Farms

Are you looking for that perfect pumpkin? Just a short drive from The Woodlands, P-6 Farms has everything you want to make lasting memories. Come pick out your fall pumpkin in the pumpkin patch and stay for the corn maze, farm animals, wheelbarrow races, and don’t forget the Instagram-worthy photo ops! The kids will love running around and experiencing the farm and all it has to offer. P-6 Farms Fall Festival runs October 9 - November 7, 2021.

Texas Renaissance Festival

The 47th annual Texas Renaissance Festival opens October 9 and runs until November 28. With a different theme every weekend there is something new for everyone to experience, from Octoberfest to Heros and Villians, Barbarian Invasion, and a Celtic Christmas. The Renaissance Festival has been a long-standing Texas Tradition, one that many look forward to every year! Many dress up in Renaissance clothing and act the part but it is not a requirement to enjoy this fun outdoor event. There are activities the kids will enjoy also, games of skills such as The Joust Tower, Archery Games, Dragon’s Lair Treasure Trove, and Carriage Rides. For the over 21 crowds, there is a pub crawl (tickets must be purchased ahead of time), and plenty of debaucheries to be had! If you are hungry, make sure you check out one of the many food vendors, there is even a sweet shop for the kiddos! So buckle up your boots and be ready for some old-fashioned fun!

Octoberfest

Oktoberfest Houston is a combination of German and Texas culture. Oktoberfest in Munich traditionally begins at the end of September but here in Houston we have put a twist on it and moved it to the end of October to beat the heat! You can expect to hear some of the best Polka music around and experience German Folk Dancers perform. Let the fun begin with a large selection of imported and local beers as well as your choice of different foods to try. So put on your lederhosen or your dirndls dress and join in the fun at Okotoberfest, October 22 and 23, 2021.

ArBOOretum

Halloween is just around the corner, why not start the festivities early? Houston Arboretum and Nature Center is hosting ArBOOretum on October 23. Bring your little ghosts and goblins for the trick-or-treat trail, train rides, pumpkin decorating, pumpkin patch and so much more! Make sure you bring your appetite and enjoy some of the yummy food from the food trucks that will be at the event.
