At Autumn at the Arboretum, the Dallas Arboretum transforms with thousands of fall florals. Over 50,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash come together to form the nationally acclaimed Pumpkin Village. A multitude of special events are also available throughout the week including a hay bale maze, scavenger hunts and the Tom Thumb pumpkin patch. Autumn is the perfect time of year for a picnic in the gardens with friends, a fun family photo or a leisurely walk among 150,000 blooming fall flowers such as chrysanthemums and impatiens. The fall foliage, cool weather and deep colors make Autumn at the Arboretum a must-see.

The 24-day, four-weekend extravaganza that is the State Fair of Texas is back. The great thing about the fair is its predictable greatness, from the butter sculptures to the pig races to the oodles of fried food. You can try all the new concoctions, check out the midway, enjoy free concerts every day or take a trip to the top of the Top 'o Texas Tower. The beauty is that there's never a shortage of things to do, so what are you waiting for?

Dallas Contemporary presents Mario Testino: Alta Moda
Mario Testino has traveled the world photographing for high profile fashion magazines, and in 2007, while on an assignment in Peru, Testino discovered an archive of costumes conserved
at the Filigranas Peruanas Association in Cusco.
Testino began documenting the costumes over the next five years, resulting in the exhibition, Alta Moda, a series of photographic portraits of Peruvians from the mountainous region of Cusco wearing traditional and festive dress. The works present a bold departure for Testino from his work for fashion magazines, investigating both Peruvian traditions and the history of photography.
The exhibition will be on view at Dallas Contemporary from December 21.
