Cool mornings, pumpkins on every porch, and a Saturday packed with free things to do. Here are six ways to spend this weekend, from monarch butterflies in Grapevine to a fall festival at Keller Town Hall.
Monster Mash Masquerade Ball
Friday, Oct. 16, 6:30 to 11 PM | Fort Worth Club, Fort Worth
Grab a mask for a grown-up night of dinner, dancing, a live auction, raffles and a wine pull. The Women's Center of Tarrant County hosts the evening, and tickets are required.
Butterfly Flutterby
Saturday, Oct. 17, 10 AM to 2 PM | Grapevine Botanical Gardens at Heritage Park, Grapevine
Watch live monarch releases, enter the costume contest, and snap a photo with the 22-foot butterfly sculpture. Pets are welcome too, and admission is free.
Fall Fun Festival
Saturday, Oct. 17, 9 AM to 3 PM | Keller Town Hall, Keller
Shop local vendors, play games, and stick around for the kids' costume contest at 11 AM and the pet costume contest at 11:30 AM. Admission and parking are both free.
Golftober Fest
Saturday, Oct. 17, 4 to 9 PM | Golf Center of Arlington, Arlington
Toptracer golf games, 36 holes of mini golf, live music, food trucks and prizes. Guests 21 and up can sample local craft beer. No golf skills needed, and it's free.
Only Prettier: Miranda Lambert Tribute
Saturday, Oct. 17, 7:30 PM | Peace Plaza at Harvest Hall, Grapevine
Bring a chair or blanket for a free night of Miranda Lambert hits under the stars on Main Street. Harvest Hall's kitchens are right there for dinner and drinks.
DIG World
Grapevine Mills, Grapevine
Kids get behind the controls of real construction equipment to dig, scoop and move dirt. Little ones who love big machines will talk about it for weeks.
Which one makes your list? If you know someone new to the area, send this their way so they can find their favorite spots too.
