Fall Events in San Antonio Near The Greyson

San Antonio doesn't get a real chill until well into November, but that never stops the city from embracing the fall anyway. From pumpkin patches to costume parties, the list of fall events in San Antonio gets longer every week once September hits. Grab a light jacket for the evenings and get ready for a packed season.

Whether a spooky night out or an easy afternoon with a pumpkin in hand sounds like your speed, this guide rounds up a few of the top fall festivals San Antonio, TX has going on this year. Most of them sit close to home near The Rim and La Cantera, so a full weekend out never means a long drive. Mark your calendar, because the season books up fast.

Fall Festivals Near The Rim and La Cantera

Three of the season's best picks sit just a few minutes from home, no downtown trip required; the best food and thrills are close to home at La Cantera.

  1. Head over to Pumpkin Fest at The Rim for an evening of pumpkin carving, corn pit games, and photo ops right in the neighborhood. Every ticket comes with a pumpkin to carve, along with funnel cakes and hot cocoa to keep the festivities going. Once the sun goes down, the event shifts into Patch After Dark, a grown-up pop-up with seasonal cocktails and live music for anyone skipping the kid crowd this time.

  2. Six Flags Fiesta Texas keeps the season rolling with Oktoberfest presented by Cash App, running weekends from mid-September through the end of October. Expect a beer garden, seasonal food, and live entertainment layered right into the park you already know for coasters. Pair it with an early ride or two before settling in for the evening lineup.

  3. If Halloween thrills are more your speed, Fright Fest takes over the same park on select nights from mid-September through early November, with haunted mazes, scare zones, and live shows after dark. Guests under 13 should plan around the daytime hours, since the scares run intense once night falls. Show up for the rides, then stay to watch the whole park change personality.

One More Trip Worth Making Downtown

Not all fall events in San Antonio this season can be close to home, and one pick is worth the short trip. For one of the biggest September happenings in the city, San Japan brings South Texas's largest anime and gaming convention to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center over Labor Day weekend. Expect cosplay contests, artist alley booths, and gaming tournaments packed into three full days. It's a fun way to kick off the season before the pumpkin patches open.
