Students are back, football season is in full swing, and pumpkin spice is everywhere! Summer vacation may be over but the fun doesn’t stop here in Austin. With mild temperatures that keep us outdoors and plenty of seasonal activities to enjoy, there’s no better time to embrace all the sights, flavors, and sounds of Autumn. Before the winter chill sets in and before the sun sets before dinner, we’ve rounded up the top things to do this season to get you fully in the Fall spirit.

1. UT Game Days

Fall time in Austin might skip the fiery red and golden leaves, but it makes up for it with one thing – Longhorn burnt orange! Nothing ushers in the season quite like football. Gear up for game day by tailgating and catching all the action at Victory Lap’s West Campus location, or, if you’re after a more laid-back vibe, head to their Rainey Street spot to cheer alongside fellow fans.

2. Austin’s Seasonal Sweet Treats

Indulge in all the cozy flavors of fall, because what’s more festive than seasonal treats? Stop by Tiny Pies to sample their lineup, from creamy pumpkin chia pie to salted caramel apple. Don’t miss Easy Tiger, either, where you can grab freshly baked seasonal pastries, warm cinnamon rolls, or a hearty loaf of pumpkin bread, perfect for savoring with a coffee or sharing with friends.

3. Biking and Hiking

Autumn in Austin is that sweet spot between scorching summer days and chilly winter nights—the perfect time to get outside and soak it all in. Catch a breathtaking sunset from the iconic Mount Bonnell, or cruise along the scenic biking trails that wind around Lady Bird Lake downtown. Craving a little escape from the city buzz? Head to Barton Creek Greenbelt for a moderate hike with your pup, or make a quick climb to the 360 Bridge Overlook for a shorter trek that rewards you with sweeping views of downtown Austin.

4. Sip, Snack, and Soak up Autumn

Want to soak up the cooler weather without lacing up your hiking boots? Start at Chalmers, an East Austin original known for its good bites, tasty drinks, and live music. After 6 PM on Thursday and Friday, it’s adults-only, perfect for a laid-back night out with friends. Come Saturday, grab a plate from their food trucks or main kitchen and catch one of the biggest UT watch parties in town. Looking for another iconic spot? Head to Banger’s on Rainey Street the last weekend of September for their three-day Oktoberfest celebration. Expect live oompah bands, German-inspired eats, local brews, and even a wiener dog costume contest.

5.Pumpkin Picking and Magical Trails

Kick off pumpkin season with a charming day trip to Marble Falls! Starting September 20, Sweet Berry Farms reopens for pumpkin picking, hayrides, and all the fall feels. Looking to keep the autumn magic going?

Conclusion

Whether you are cheering on the Longhorns, sipping seasonal brews, picking pumpkins, or indulging in cozy treats, Austin has a little something for everyone! From outdoor adventures to festive events and everything in between there’s no shortage of ways to soak up the season. So grab your friends, your pup, or just your love for pumpkin spice and make the most of everything Austin has to offer before the holidays roll in.
