The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden 19th annual Autumn at the Arboretum, presented by Reliant, will continue through November 5, where visitors can immerse themselves in an extraordinary fall experience featuring a display of more than 100,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash from the Texas pumpkin capital of Floydada, as well as 150,000 fall-blooming plants.

The signature Pumpkin Village with the 2024 theme of Texas Town, invites guests to step back in time to explore the rich history of early Texas pioneers with life-sized recreations of traditional town scenes and historical landmarks. It includes a town square, pioneer homestead and frontier church.

Other highlights include live music, performances, artisan markets and children’s daily activities such as pumpkin painting, historical reenactments and educational tours through Texas Town.

Location: 8525 Garland Rd., Dallas. Tickets are available at the gate or DallasArboretum.org/autumn.
