Your East Texas Weekend Is Full Of Family Fun At These 14 Events

Another 'Hotober' weekend is on the way in East Texas.

Not only is it going to be way above average when it comes to the temperatures, you're going to have a difficult time deciding what to do because there are so many activities and festivals to experience this weekend.

We'll be sweating it out at the many fairs and festivals in Lufkin, Marshall, Lindale, Mt. Vernon, Edom, and Grapeland as we celebrate the piney woods, fire ants, country life, art, and peanuts.

In addition to the big festivals, there are events featuring shopping opportunities, a vintage aircraft and airshow, a wine festival, and an Oktoberfest in Kilgore.

After you have some fun at these events and festivals this Friday and Saturday you can turn your attention to decorating for the fall on Sunday and start thinking about what you want the jack-o-lantern to look like for Halloween. Once you have that idea you'll know what size of pumpkin to pick out at a local pumpkin patch.

Here's a look at the events taking place across East Texas this weekend.

If this weekend isn't busy enough for you, wait until next weekend!  There are at least two more major events that you can have some fun at.  Next week's events include the East Texas Yamboree in Gilmer, the Texas Rose Festival in Tyler, and  the Piney Woods Wine Festival in Lindale.  Events for the Yamboree begin on Wednesday and the Rose Festival events will get underway Thursday.

So, if you can, get your rest next week and get ready for more weekend fun.
