Biz Brief

Fall is officially here! It may not feel like it in this Texas heat, but autumn celebrations are happening all over League City, and you’re invited!

Celebrate fall at the annual Harvest Festival in beautiful League Park on October 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Keep tradition alive by hitching a ride on the classic hayride, show off your best pumpkin carving skills, and start your holiday shopping early at the local artisan and craft vendor market.

If you’re looking for spooky history, take a walk on the dark side of League City with the League City Historical Society and their popular Murder & Mayhem WALKabouts. These tours take you through the historic district, where you can learn about the crimes and unsavory history that happened in the city during the turn of the century. Tickets go fast, so reserve your spot today.

Take to the skies with The Wings Over Houston Airshow, happening October 14-15. Get up close and personal with awe-inspiring aircraft displays and thrilling aerobatic performances, and even meet the talented pilots behind the magic.

It may be a little early to think about the holiday season, but tickets for the Sugar Plum Fairy Weekend are on sale now! Don’t miss your chance to be part of the magic during this sweet-as-can-be breakfast and teatime with characters from the beloved ballet, the Nutcracker.
