National Geographic Speakers Series

If you have yet to attend one of the National Geographic Speaker Series events in the Long Center, you should put this one, or more, on your Google Calendar for 2023.  Coming up this month, the Center presents Fillipe DeAndrade.  Here’s an excerpt from their website that tells his story best:

Fillipe believes animals saved his life – and he wants to return the favor. He was raised in poverty, surrounded by addiction and abuse, where he felt voiceless.  Fillipe related to animals because they were voiceless too, and he fell in love with photography as a way to tell their stories. Today, he is a star of the National Geographic’s digital series “Untamed Works.” Through this passionate presentation, Fillipe will bring you face to face with lions, sharks, and one of the rarest animals in the world.

Take a Haunted Tour of Austin
If you have never done this, put it on your calendar now.  The folks at ATX offer the only haunted tour in Austin and the only tour you may ever take … in a private hearse!  Really! For those who have lived in and around the city for many years, you know that paranormal activity prevails year-round, and especially during the Halloween season.  You need to make a reservation, and these tours sell out, so don’t wait. 
During the excursion you will be escorted by their professional guides (fully dressed in creepy costume) to some of the area’s most haunted homes and establishments, including the Littlefield House, Clay Pit, the Tavern, and others.
 
Murder, Mystery and Misadventure!
Make your reservation today for this must-do Halloween haunt on October 29.  Dress comfy and deck out if you want to for a creepy crawly tour through one of Austin’s most haunted cemeteries.  The tour starts at 10:00 am and leaves on the half-hour until 2:30 pm.  You will be introduced to some of its ‘finest residents’, which include a victim of a saloon shooting, a mourning mother who had to bury her kids, two ambushes (keep your eyes open!) and other colorful characters that make this tour one not to miss!

Austin Ghost Tours
Presented by the couple that wrote “History and Hauntings in Austin” and other spooky stories, these tours are true to their tales.  The team at Austin Ghost Tours has been personally involved in investigating Austin’s famous haunted history for over a quarter century.  Based on “firsthand experiences,” the (published) tour guides will take you into a world of paranormal activity like you have never experienced before.  
As their website notes:  Reserve your spot and bring an open mind as guests have captured photographic evidence or reported interactions, whispers, and COLD SPOTS!  

Take the Kids to Boo at the Zoo!
On Friday and Saturday nights, kids of all ages can take a spooky train ride, be entertained by goofy puppets and hang around in the haunted mansion, too. Wear your costumes (no masks, please) and stroll through the illuminated trails and décor. Bring flashlights to see all the critters at night at our famously friendly Austin Zoo.  
 

The post Spooky Halloween Things to do in Austin appeared first on Le Montreaux A Concierge Community Blog.

We just love this time of the year when the temperatures cool off (a bit!) and smells of Pumpkin Lates and Cinnamon Buns swirl through the air of our favorite cafes. It’s time when kids (of all ages) go crazy over costumes and festivals flourish around our apartment community in Austin, Texas. 
To get you out and about with goblins and ghosts, picking the perfect pumpkin, and sipping seasonal local brews, we have scoured the streets of Austin to find the perfect place to celebrate the fall season in Austin.

Where to Pick a Pumpkin in Austin?
Barton Hill Farms Fall Festival
Just 30 minutes from downtown Austin is one of the best spots to pick out that perfect pumpkin this year.  Head out any weekend in October and through November 6 to their annual Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival.  This is their 11th annual festival that has been named “the best pumpkin patch” in Central Texas.  With over 30 activities on site, this will soon become a family tradition.  For a break in the action, wander down to the Colorado River and take a family photo under their beautiful Cottonwood trees. 
Be sure to get your tickets ahead of time through this link.

Sweet Eats 
This is another one of our favorite places to go every fall, especially for the pig races and evening campfires.  Sweet Eats loves to offer family fun for all ages, and they do it well.  You can get the details on their website at SweetEats.com where you can learn more about when the pigs race (really!), how and where to pick out your pumpkin, and how to secure a campfire site for a festive fall evening.  A pre-reservation is required and all you need to do is show-up. It’s a great group event that comes with seating for 12, S’mores for all, hot dog roasting and pre-lit campfire as well!

Sweet Berry Farm
Scarecrows unite!  Sweet Berry Farm is ready to make more memories come true this year for you and yours by offering a full day of family fun through November 6th.  Go for the hayrides or hang out in the pumpkin patch.  Make your own Scarecrow (supplies on site) or get lost in their maze for an amazing day in Austin!  
How amazing?  Check out what these folks do to create the most innovative maze in Texas!  (read more on their website)
We surveyed the perimeter of the State of Texas into a field.  We then plant "Texas" to a Haygrazer grass that gets up to 10 feet tall (not all of Texas is that tall though).  The result is a 4-acre field that looks exactly like Texas from the air.  Signs representing real places in the actual State of Texas are put into their respective spots in our Texas.  We then cut pathways to and from which all connect creating a labyrinth.   The object of the game is to find all the places in Texas, each marked with said sign and a hole punch to mark your gamecard.
