NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Voted a Top Ten travel destination by Texas Highways, New Braunfels is packed with festivals, outdoor recreation, and music, music, music through fall. Come and Taste It with Texas' best winemakers and craft brewers at The Grapevine in the Gruene Historic District. There's Old Gruene Market Days (nearly 100 vendors offering uniquely crafted items, collectibles and packaged Texas foods), Yoga and Wine Tasting at Dry Comal Creek Vineyard, Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives at the Brauntex Theatre, a Hill Country Craft Beer Fest, the Comal County Fair easing open with a washer pitching tourney, and September concludes with the Texas Woodcarvers Guild Fall Extravaganza and Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison and Delbert McClinton at iconic Gruene Hall. It's still summer in the Texas Hill Country so you can also enjoy the rivers and lakes that make New Braunfels so popular May through Labor Day. Don't miss possibly the biggest county fair parade anywhere kicking off the fair in full swing as the month ends.

New Braunfels in the fall still offers warm days with cooler evenings and lots to do in addition to the water recreation that brings thousands every summer. There's a traditional county fair, a music and wine festival, Wurstfest (a 10-day celebration of sausage Octoberfest-style) and lots more. If you're into pedaling, there's a race to the river and Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in the state, offers great performers all through the fall from Hal Ketchum to Robert Earl Keen.

October moves into cooler weather perfect for the many outdoor patios and beer gardens with great food and music. There is the Falling Rock Music & Fall Festival, free concerts under the stars at the Whitewater Amphitheatre on the Guadalupe River, Gruene Hall features Hal Ketchum and there's Robert Earl Keen at the Gruene Music & Wine Festival. Check out the Gospel Brunch with a Texas Twist, the 22^nd annual Texas Clay Festival, bike ride through the Texas Hill Country for a good cause – BikeMS: 2014 Ride to the River, see Oaxaca's Gil Gutierrez at the Brauntex with classical, jazz and Latin music, and do a little soul searching in the Comal Cemetery to get into that Halloween state of mind.

The big event of the fall season is Wurstfest, a 10-day celebration of sausage, November 7-16. This year a craft beer tasting adds to the fun. Get in line for the potato pancakes first and try sausage made every which way – on a stick, in a taco, with mustard, spicy or not. The entertainment is German music and bands and you can polka and chicken dance till you need more food and drink to start the fun all over again in New Braunfels.
