Pumpkin Village returns to Arboretum. As the temps begin to cool — by the way, notice the coronavirus didn’t burn off in April heat like someone promised? — Dallasites begin to venture out more away from pools and patios. And one of the best ways to do that is at the Dallas Arboretum, especially for the annual Pumpkin Village, a collection of more than 100,000 gourds of all shapes, sizes and colors. You can enjoy this year’s Art of the Pumpkin with pre-purchased tickets while observing social distancing until the day after Halloween. Dallas Arboretum, 8525 Garland Road. Sept. 19–Nov. 1.
