Frisco’s Best Fall Activities
The weather in North Texas is finally beginning to cool off and it’s a perfect time to enjoy one of our area’s many fun fall activities. Make plans now to bring your family to at least one of these autumn events.
For a truly fall experience, head up to Gunter for the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm at Preston Trail Farms! Open from September 18, 2021, through November 23, 2021, the farm is located about 30 minutes from Frisco (depending on where you live). The Big Orange Pumpkin Farm has loads of fun activities for the entire family. Take your little ones into the petting barn to see all of the animals and enjoy an old-fashioned hayride. Check out the roping pen and try to find your way through the hay maze.
When you’re finished, be sure to check out the Feed Store for a large selection of unique gifts, high-end shoes, purses, jewelry, and tableware. There is also a well-stocked kids toy section, including vintage toys you may remember from your own childhood! Admission is $10 per person. More details can be found here.

On November 13 in Historic Downtown Frisco, the Frisco Community Parade is a great way for families to mark Veterans Day and to celebrate community pride. The parade, which was originally a homecoming parade when Frisco was home to one high school, features floats, school marching bands, high school football teams, cheerleaders, scouts, civic organizations, youth sports teams, Frisco-based professional sports teams, and local businesses. The Frisco Community Parade is a collaboration between the City of Frisco, Frisco Independent School District, Frisco Chamber of Commerce, and the Frisco Veterans Advisory Committee. The parade will begin at 10 AM and head East on Main Street from the southeast corner of Toyota Stadium through downtown Frisco.
If your children suffer from allergies or asthma attacks and you are concerned that outdoor activities will aggravate their symptoms, schedule an appointment with Dr. Leung. North Texas is known for having higher than normal allergy-causing pollens. Allergy and asthma often occur together in children because allergies can trigger asthma attacks. However, not everyone with allergies has asthma and not all people with asthma have allergies. Consult with Dr. Leung for a treatment plan that will work for your child while still allowing them to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.
