Best Fall Festivals for Families

Travel just 30 minutes south of San Antonio and you’ll find yourself awash in peanut pride and paraphernalia. Queen Tunaep and King Reboog (peanut and goober spelled backwards, respectively) kick things off with a bevy of 'royal' guests at the opening coronation gala.

For the Kids: The Goober Games include peanut races (balancing a peanut on a spoon while running) and face painting. There’s a kiddie parade with decorated bikes, wagons, and trailers, along with 'Peanut Square,' which offers pony rides, Folklorico dancers, mariachi bands, and Texas Gunslingers.

For the Parents: Nothing says classic American romance like the Friday and Saturday night dances to live music set under the town’s large oak tree.

Details: October 7, 9–11, 2008; www.floresvillepeanutfestival.org.
