Hello! We’re already halfway through the spooky season. I particularly liked the beautiful cold front last week; it finally feels like fall.

Even though the fall weather can be “corn-melting” here in Texas, rest assured you can still visit corn mazes or pumpkin patches this weekend. Have you started carving pumpkins? Or how about decorations outside your home? We want to see these great photos on KSAT Connect!

You can also check out the fall jazz concert series at the Japanese Tea Garden or check out the recent Oktoberfest events that some local venues are hosting.

Here’s a look at this weekend’s event list:
