This annual Texas Wine Collective event will be held on October 25th. Grab your best costumes for you, your, sweetheart, and your four-legged date to dress up for an afternoon of wine, a pup parade, and plenty of Halloween fun.

Then head back out to Witcher on Halloween night for the Halloween Costume Party. What could be more fun than celebrating Halloween with some classic fun and a craft brew?
5) Haunted Fredericksburg Ghost Walk~ Get Your Boo On the Move
Ready to see a different side of Fredericksburg? The Haunted Fredericksburg Ghost Walk takes you through the historic downtown district after dark, where you’ll hear spooky stories, local legends, and tales of the spirits said to still linger around some of the city’s oldest buildings. It’s a fun way to explore Fredericksburg’s history while getting just the right amount of goosebumps. As an added bonus, when the ghost stories get a little too creepy, you’ll have the perfect excuse to stay close to your date.
