Fall in Dallas smells like pumpkin spice — and lots of it! Autumn at the Arboretum is in full swing at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, running September 19 through November 1, 2026 with a jaw-dropping 100,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash filling its 66 acres.
This year’s edition embraces the theme “Harvest Hues,” with the nationally acclaimed Pumpkin Village reimagined as a living canvas of autumn color — whimsical displays, towering pumpkin houses and photo-perfect moments around every bend of the garden.
Stroll the glowing fall foliage, snap that perfect family photo among the pumpkins, and savor the crisp Texas autumn air with seasonal treats. It’s the kind of outing that turns an ordinary October weekend into a memory.
Don’t miss the most photographed fall festival in Texas — Autumn at the Arboretum only lasts a few more weeks!
