The State Fair of Texas starts at the end of September. Should visit there once if only for the experience! (I'm exceptionally fond of watching the bagpipe players mainly because those kilts are SO damn masculine looking!!!)
The Dallas Arboretum has a lovely fall garden they present each year. Bring a picnic and make a day of it.
www.dallasarboretum.org If you click on the link, you'll get an idea of the offerings there.
The downtown Farmer's Market is fun.
Just a few ideas. Enjoy exploring!
Sincerely,
Elisabeth
