    Embrace autumn's charm with a bounty of fall delights in League City

    Nestled along the tranquil shores of Clear Lake, League City welcomes the arrival of fall with open arms and a warm, Southern embrace. This Gulf Coast gem offers a distinctive array of autumn delights that are nothing short of enchanting.

    Waterfront whimsy
    With its ideal location by the serene Clear Lake, League City offers a playground for water enthusiasts of all kinds.

    Whether you're an avid angler casting your line into the lake's depths, a paddleboarding aficionado gliding gracefully across the water, or a boating enthusiast seeking a tranquil cruise, the possibilities are as endless as the horizon's edge.

    Embark on your next waterway adventure with the Water Recreation Guide for countless ways to play on the lake.

    Fall festivities in full swing
    Autumn in League City ushers in a harvest of festivals and events that capture the essence of the season.

    Celebrate fall at the annual Harvest Festival in beautiful League Park on October 14 from 9 am-2 pm. 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.

    Wings Over Houston Airshow: A spectacular skyward showcase
    Prepare to be captivated as the skies above League City come alive with the thunderous roar of jet engines and breathtaking aerial acrobatics.

    The Wings Over Houston Airshow, a premier aviation event, takes center stage this October 14 and 15. Get up close and personal with awe-inspiring aircraft displays and thrilling aerobatic performances, and even meet the talented pilots behind the magic.

    Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or a family looking for an unforgettable weekend, this event promises a one-of-a-kind experience for all.

    Nature's serenade beckons
    For nature lovers, the Clear Creek Nature Center offers tranquil trails and birdwatching opportunities. In the fall, migratory birds grace the area, offering a symphony of avian melodies.

    Bay Area Houston's birding guide is a sure way of discovering hidden birding spots of scenic value. Experienced or beginner, this bird-friendly city offers birders comfortable accommodations and lots of amenities in close proximity to several world-class birding locations.

    Historic beauty under the oaks
    History enthusiasts can explore the quaint streets of League City's Historic District, where charming shops and local history under the branches of grand oak trees invite easy exploration.

    No matter your age, the events and programs hosted by the League City Historical Society are perfect for the fall. Attend Music at the Museum, monthly get-togethers on the historic museum grounds where the community gathers to jam with local talent from around Bay Area Houston.

    Book and spend a day in the life of a student from the 1890s in the One Room Schoolhouse, where you can travel back in time and experience hands-on history.

    A cultural tapestry
    Immerse yourself in the region's rich art and culture scene by attending theatrical performances.

    The Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre is renowned for its classic and contemporary performances, and this season includes the delightful tale of Cinderella and the beloved holiday classic The Nutcracker.

    For the sweetest of weekends, join the magical cast of The Nutcracker on November 17-18 for the annual Sugar Plum Fairy weekend, including dinners, breakfasts, tea times, a Nutcracker boutique, and more to enjoy for all ages.

    Whether you seek outdoor adventures, family-friendly festivities, or a touch of the arts, League City unveils a treasure trove of autumn experiences that will leave your heart warmed by Southern hospitality. Pack your bags, and let the magic of autumn in this Gulf Coast jewel sweep you off your feet.

    New podcast provides on-the-ground news from Texas state parks

    Podcast host Morgan O’Hanlon captures ambient sound from a river.

    Outdoorsy Texans have a new way to keep track of conservation initiatives within Texas' parks. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will launch a new podcast, Better Outside, on May 21 on all major podcast platforms.

    A press release promises that listeners will "travel the woods and waters of Texas through an array of awe-inspiring stories about conservation, recreation and the outdoors."

    The podcast does mean "travel" in a literal sense, taking listeners out in the field to experience the environments firsthand. They'll have a knowledgeable guide in host Morgan O’Hanlon, who is a senior writer at Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine, as well as TPWD executive director David Yoskowitz.

    “People are at the core of conservation work in Texas,” said Yoskowitz in the release. “I’m excited for you to hear their voices straight from the field, so they can share why the work they do matters and the impact it makes.”

    Some examples of the work featured include creating a new trail across the state, touring an existing park, and restoring bighorn sheep (which were on the brink of being wiped out by 1900) in West Texas. Another episode in the Hill Country follows feral hog bounty hunters. Although well-informed listeners may already know about some of these subjects, the podcast specifically hopes to focus on hidden gems and expanding horizons.

    “I love adventure sports and am excited to inspire people to try new, and sometimes scary, things,” said O’Hanlon. “In our episode on the Devils River, I took my non-outdoorsy mom on one of the state’s most feared paddling trips. You’ll hear straight from her about the challenges I put her through — and why she would do it again.”

    Better Outside isn't TPWD’s first podcast. It was Under the Texas Sky, which launched in 2019 and followed similar themes, with a notable focus on culture. Some episodes followed the Indigenous history of Texas parks, cowboy poets, and chefs who are involved in sustainable farming and cooking. Under the Texas Sky stopped being made when its host, longtime Passport to Texas radio host Cecilia Nasti, retired.

    The new podcast is sponsored by the Austin-based Whole Earth Provision Co., which originally opened in 1970 as a real-life manifestation of the Whole Earth Catalog, and is now a cross between a camping, home goods, and outdoorsy gift store. It operates six locations in total in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas.
