Texas Events This Weekend: October 30–November 1, 2026

22 Texas listings have dates that overlap Friday through Sunday, October 30–November 1, 2026. 5 are fairs, festivals, and one-day events, and the other 17 are longer seasons that are open during part of the weekend.

Fall weekends in Texas belong to fairs and rodeos. The State Fair of Texas in Dallas ran September 25 – October 18, 2026, and county fair-and-rodeo weeks filled the October calendar around it: the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo in Waco, the Brazoria County Fair in Angleton, the Williamson County Fair and Rodeo in Taylor and the Harris County Fair & Rodeo in Katy.

Late October added Día de los Muertos celebrations, from Los Muertos Bailan in Edinburg and the street festival in Corpus Christi to Austin’s Viva la Vida Festival & Parade, plus Oktoberfest Dallas and Island Oktoberfest in Galveston. Music and art rounded it out, from the Leander Bluegrass & Folk Festival to the Art Worth Festival in Fort Worth.

A big share of listings run all season: Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Texas, the Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission, and farm pumpkin festivals from Lubbock to Georgetown. They show their full span, so look up which days they open. In November the weekends move to Wurstfest in New Braunfels and turkey trots, December brings Dickens on The Strand in Galveston and the Austin Trail of Lights, and January opens the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo.

Texas is big, so group your stops by region and look up rodeo performance times before you drive.
