Summer is over so don’t sweat the fall stuff.

After surviving yet another sweltering Texas summer, the temperatures are slowly but surely beginning to decline.

Fall is the season of pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie and even pumpkin photo ops. A-maizing things that come along with Fall, like cozy flannels, spooky movies and even the State Fair of Texas.

In honor of making it through the summer heat, we put together a list of places where you can enjoy the fall vibes across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
