One of the best things to do during fall in Texas is head out to take in the beauty of the fall foliage in Texas Hill Country. The leaves typically begin to change sometime during mid-October, with the show continuing on through the middle of November. This can be a fantastic time to enjoy a scenic drive through Texas Hill Country, check out one of the many hiking trails in the area, or even explore the natural beauty on horseback! You will love observing the gorgeous red, orange, and yellow hues of the fall leaves during this time of year. Keep in mind that the exact timing of the leaves changing can vary based on weather, so it is suggested that you keep an eye on the fall foliage forecast in advance of coming to visit the area in order to maximize your experience!

2. Check Out Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg

Featuring a variety of German and Texan food, tons of beer options, live music, games, and more, there is so much to do when you check out this beloved local festival during fall in Texas.
