Fall is the month for festivals and there’ll be no shortage of festivities for you to choose from this weekend. And with just two weeks remaining until Halloween, you might expect to start seeing some ghosts and ghouls, corn mazes and pumpkin patches popping up around town. If you happen to be one of those folks who loves the autumn and all it brings, you won’t be disappointed with this weekend’s lineup.
One of the most popular Halloween events in Austin is happening right here in Lake Travis at Lakeway City Park, the Great Goblin Glow. Head downtown for the largest gathering of Celts in Central Texas for the 18th Annual Celtic Fest at Fiesta Gardens on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend weather forecast looks amazing for a day out at Sweet Berry Farm or the FiestaJAM on Lake Marble Falls.
With all the cool music, warm fun and lively fall festivities, it’s going to be another hip and happening weekend in and around the Lake Travis area!
