It’s the first weekend of fall and with it comes a whole bunch of stuff to do outside.

Keep it closer to home with a visit to Pumpkin Palooza at Whole Foods in Bee Cave or head down to the town for a choice of several fall festivals including the The Pecan Street Festival, AustOberfest, and the Texas Craft Brewers Festival.
