2021 Fall Festivals and Trunk or Treats in the Texarkana Area
Fall is in the air, which means a few things. It’s almost time for chili and soup season, cozy sweaters, candles that smell like pumpkin- and apple-themed treats, crisp leaves, cool nights… Well, we could go on and on about the joys of fall, especially after surviving weeks of 90-degree heat.
