Why You'll "Fall Hard" for Fall in San Antonio

 Thanks to KSAT 12 for providing this great list of reasons to "Fall Hard" for Fall in San Antonio.

September is one of my favorite months because it’s the start of fall and the beginning of less sizzling weather but very sizzling attractions and events. Technically fall doesn’t officially start until the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22 but pumpkin-flavored goodies have already hit the shelves and the ever-coveted pumpkin Spice latte is back at Starbucks.  Here’s to hoping the fall is cooler than this scorching summer has been and that it brings a little rain.

Here’s a list of some of the events going on in the San Antonio area in September:
