Falling for Fall in Southeast Texas
Autumn Attractions in Beaumont
Fall’s a funny time in SETX as the lack of colored leaves and weather make it feel like more of a trick than a treat, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still break out the sweaters and UGGS and celebrate making it ¾ of the way through the year. The Beaumont area has a calendar full of amazing autumn activities so if you’re looking to welcome fall in all its glory, ‘tis the season to feel spooked and satisfied.
Fall Eats and Treats
Put away the sweet tea and lemonade because pumpkin spice season has arrived in full force with everything from desserts to drinks getting a blast of cinnamon sugar. Get festive with the decorated seasonal cookies from Rao’s, put some pep in your step with fall pastries from the Avenue, and of course, sip on the drink that started it all, the Pumpkin Spice Latte. If you’re looking to forgo Starbucks for something a bit more local, you can snag a hot or cold one from Rao’s or Sertino's.
Speaking of adult beverages, if you’re looking to make your own Oktoberfest try a seasonal pour from one of the area breweries like Struggle Street. Local area restaurants like J.Wilson’s, the Logon, and many others also have taps on drafts that celebrate the season.
Fun on the Farm
If you’re looking for a fun weekend activity, hit up the area farms. Chosen Weeds Farms has Junior Farmer Classes and farm tours full of hands-on animal encounters (by appointment only). Further afield, Leeland Farms in Sour Lake also has a "Fall Festival / pumpkin patch with kids activities. Old MacDonald’s Farm in Humble has train rides, pony rides, a petting zoo, and playground, plus all kids leave with a free pumpkin. In Jasper, Third Day Farm and Ranch has hayrides through the long horn field, a petting zoo with adorable piglets, photo ops, and a hay maze.
Things to Do
What better way to get in the Halloween spirit than to Paint or Carve a Pumpkin? Snag one from Ellis Home & Garden, The Pumpkin Patch at Wesley UMC, or any other shop in Beaumont.
The John Jay French Museum is also bringing back with their beloved Pumpkin Walk, which is part of Museum Madness Weekend (October 19-22, 2023). Expect fun events at area museums like Spindletop, the Texas Energy Museum. The Art Museum of Southeast Texas, and the Beaumont Children's Museum, who is hosting a Spheres Bubble Show that was on America's Got Talent. The Scarecrow Festival is also returning to Shangri La Botanical Gardens.
Pose for a photo op. If you’re looking to step up your Instagram game or take some snaps for this year’s Christmas card, there are a variety of great backdrops around the area. Village Market in Lumberton has cute cutouts and spooky silhouettes, while Urban Habitat antiques has a vintage car and thoughtfully curated fall-scape. Any of the aforementioned farms are also great photo spots.
Get your scare on. For those who enjoy getting spooked this season, the Jefferson Theatre is showing Halloween movies and concerts from old-school horror films to family friendly flicks. The Haunted Hotel downtown is another seasonal must-do.
