Experience Oktoberfest and More: Fort Worth's Fall Fun Guide

Fall in Fort Worth, Texas in 2024 is shaping up to be a season of fun, frights, and festive cheer. As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, this Texan city comes alive with a variety of events that’ll make you fall head over heels for autumn.

Spooky Season Shenanigans

Hangman’s House of Horrors

As October rolls in, Fort Worth turns into a playground for Halloween enthusiasts. If you’re brave enough, check out the Hangman’s House of Horrors. This haunted attraction will have you screaming and laughing in equal measure. Just remember, those aren’t real ghosts… or are they?

Trick or Trot event

For a less spine-chilling experience, head to the National Cowgirl Museum on October 26 for their Trick or Trot event. It’s the perfect blend of Wild West and Halloween fun. Dress up your little cowpokes and enjoy some family-friendly frights.

Art Worth Festival

Fort Worth’s art scene really shines in the fall. From October 26, The Shops at Clearfork will be hosting the Art Worth Festival. This new fall art festival is set to showcase some of the best local and regional artists. It’s a great chance to pick up a unique piece to spruce up your home for the season.

Sports and Recreation

Fall in Fort Worth isn’t all about pumpkins and hayrides. Sports fans can get their fix, too. The Texas Christian University (TCU) football season will fully swing. Grab your purple gear and cheer on TCU Horned Frogs vs. Houston Cougars at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

If you prefer to play rather than watch, head to Courtside Kitchen for a game of pickleball. It’s a great way to enjoy the cooler weather while staying active.

Nature’s Show

While Fort Worth might not have the dramatic fall foliage of New England, it still puts on a pretty good show. Take a stroll through the Fort Worth Botanic Garden to see the changing colors. The Japanese Garden is particularly beautiful in autumn, with its maples turning fiery shades of red and orange.

As the sun sets earlier and the nights get cooler, Fort Worth transforms into a fall wonderland. From Oktoberfest steins to Halloween screams, from art festivals to football dreams, this Texas city knows how to celebrate autumn in style.
