This weekend we continue the celebration of honoring the lives of our departed loved ones. There’s also a chance to check out the last pumpkin patches open for the fall season!

Of course, there is the possibility of watching some artists visit the Alamo City, such as the Norteño group Pesado or the K-pop group Seventeen.
