Fall Fun!

Fall in Grapevine means changing seasons and plenty of reasons to get out and explore. From sipping Texas wine and riding the rails to celebrating Monarch butterflies, creating glass pumpkins and dancing under the stars, October brings a little something for everyone. Here are a few must-dos to add to your Fall plans:
 

🍷 Ride the Rails for Oktoberfest

Combine two Texas traditions - trains and craft beer - aboard the Oktoberfest Craft Brew Train. Climb aboard Grapevine Vintage Railroad for an evening of craft brews, German-inspired food and live music as the historic train rolls through town.

Prost!

🦋 Celebrate the Monarchs

One of Fall’s most remarkable journeys passes through Grapevine.

The 29th Annual Butterfly Flutterby celebrates Monarch butterflies as they make their annual migration from Canada to Mexico. The family-friendly event includes butterfly releases, activities and plenty of ways to learn more about these tiny travelers.

🎃 Make a Glass Pumpkin

Visit Hall's Pumpkin Patch and then make your own glass pumpkin!

At Vetro Glassblowing Studio & Gallery, help create your own one-of-a-kind glass pumpkin during the Fall pumpkin-making experience. It’s a hands-on activity for ages 12 and up and gives you a keepsake that lasts long after October.

🌎 Celebrate Culture

Experience the sights, sounds and traditions of the Metroplex at Celebra Grapevine. The celebration brings together lucha libre, fashion, music, vendors and more for a lively look at the cultures that make the DFW region special.

🎶 Catch Live Music on Historic Main Street

Grab a seat at Peace Plaza and settle in for Grapevine Main LIVE! Free live music brings the Historic Main Street experience to life throughout October, with tribute bands and artists taking the stage.

It’s an easy way to turn an evening stroll into a night out.

🐄 Step Back in Time

Fall feels right at home at Historic Nash Farm, where the season brings heritage experiences, food, music and old-fashioned fun.

From the annual Barn Dance featuring fried chicken, dancing and a pie auction to Fall Round-Up at the Farm, it’s a chance to enjoy the season at a slower pace.

🍕 Follow the Food

Explore Grapevine’s restaurants, wineries and food experiences throughout the season, from Texas wine and craft beer to special events and seasonal bites. The destination’s Urban Wine Trail makes it especially easy to build an afternoon around sipping, strolling and discovering something new.

🌳 Take Fall Outside

Spend some time outdoors at Meadowmere Park during PumpkinFest, where a pumpkin-lined path, seasonal activities, artisan vendors and a spooky stroll through the park make for a festive Fall outing.

It’s also a good excuse to slow down and enjoy the changing season around Lake Grapevine.

🏘️ Explore Historic Main Street

Stroll Historic Main Street, where Fall brings a little extra charm to Grapevine’s shops, restaurants, wineries and art galleries. Make an afternoon of browsing, sipping, dining and discovering the heritage that makes Grapevine special.
