Autumn in Brazos Valley, Texas



Brazos Valley is a beautiful area year round, from the Texas A&M college campus to any of our parks and tree-covered walking paths. In autumn, though, as the leaves change on the Texas red oaks and Chinese Pistachio trees, it’s a striking sight to behold. There are a number of festivals, sporting events, and reasons to get out and explore College Station and the surrounding area this fall. Here’s everything you can expect about Brazos Valley as fall nears

Weather

Summer might be ending, but this is still Texas. The warm weather takes a while to give way to true fall temperatures. Average highs in September are still in the 90s for the most part, dipping down to the low 80s towards the end of the month. Even night time temperatures are likely to stay in the high 70s for most of the month. It will be November before highs in the 70s and 60s will become the norm. Expect clear skies in September, though, and a break from the humidity. Through most of September, the leaves on the trees will remain green, but in October you can start to see the colorful beginnings of fall foliage.


Festivals and Events

As the heat starts to become less overbearing, residents of College Station and the surrounding Brazos Valley start finding more reasons for fun activities outdoors. September offers events for a variety of interests. There’s the Kolache Festival in Caldwell on September 9 for pastry lovers, including a Bake Show and Kolache Eating Contest. Market on the Green farmer’s market on the college green at Texas A&M is September 18 and the Brazos Bluebonnet Quilt Guild Annual Quilt Show is September 22-23. Perhaps most popular is the Texas Reds Steak & Grape festival in downtown Bryan, running from September 22-24. Over 40 wineries and breweries will be present this year, along with craft vendors, artists, and live music. This year, Grammy nominated Deana Carter will be there to play for festival attendants.


 School Year

September is a busy time for College Station, as school starts back up from the elementary schools to the popular Texas A&M. The return of out-of-state students means that the population swells in late August and September, but it also means the return of the much-loved Aggie sports teams. The first Aggies football game this year will be September 9 against Nicholls University at Clayton Williams, Jr. Alumni station. September is also a great time to refresh your kids’ book collection, and the Children’s Museum of Brazos Valley is happy to assist. They’ll hold a Book Swap on September 2nd. Bring your old books and go home with new books. What’s not to love about that?
