A carnival for kids and craft beer for grown-ups creates a winning combination at Autumn Fest in Little Elm. From September 14th to the 17th, the Autumn Fest rolls into town at Little Elm Park. Starting on Thursday, families will descend upon the park for a night of carnival rides.

If you're only interested in the Oktoberfest portion of the event, come to the park on Friday. Oktoberfest kicks off at 7 p.m. with a slew of brews to fill up your commemorative stein and live polka bands to accompany the imbibing. Then on Saturday, a 5K and fun run kickstarts the day with the carnival and another round of live music capping things off. If you're planning on partaking in the carnival rides, consider buying a wrist band for unlimited rides.
