Quick Answers
The festival is open every day (except Tuesdays) 10am - 7pm September 24th through October 31st rain or shine.
Pets and emotional support animals are NOT allowed at our festival.
Specifically trained service animals are always welcome. It is a crime to represent your pet as a service animal when specific training has not been provided.
Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals according to the ADA. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals. A doctor’s letter does not turn an animal into a service animal.
There are no “dog-friendly” pumpkin patches in the Austin area.

Originally built as two log pens (cabins) with a center “dog trot” breezeway, the Pound farmstead has been meticulously restored to its composition and appearance from the period when Dr. Pound lived here.
Joseph M. Pound first came to Texas in 1847 to fight in the war against Mexico. He returned to Kentucky to pursue his medical education, but returned with his wife, Sarah, in the early 1850’s.In 1854-55 they built a two- room log cabin in an untamed area of Central Texas, present day Dripping Springs. With an abundant source of water and rich soil, Dripping Springs was a desirable place to stay.
It is believed Dripping Springs was part of the original wagon route from Austin to Fredericksburg and so the Pounds may have passed through on the journey.
