You autumn know about this, Fort Worth. Willow Park North’s second annual Fall Fest returns to The Shops on Saturday, Oct. 26.

This free, family-friendly event features seasonal favorites like a pumpkin patch, face painting, local vendors + food trucks. Pro tip: Vendor applications are now open.

Can’t make it to the festivities? Head to The District to explore newly-opened MELT Ice Creams and The District Butcher, with Lone Star Dry Goods and The Lumen Room coming this fall. More fall fun this way
