    Time to put away the summer bikinis and bring out the comfy caftans of fall, because this season in Dallas is a feeding frenzy. No matter what kind of cuisine you crave — burgers, veggies, tailgating snacks, or fair fare — there's a fête or festival for that. Add in all the wine and beer events, and your cup (and schedule) will runneth over. Here are the top events heating up the fall food scene.

     

     Fair Fare on the Square, September 1-30
    Visitors to downtown Garland can get a head start on State Fair-inspired flavors at this monthlong event. Participating eateries along Main, 5th, 6th, and State streets — all near Garland’s historic square — will serve up bites like Dr Pepper slushies, cotton candy iced tea, homemade Frito pie, churro flights, deep-fried funnel cake, Spam on a stick, corndogs, turkey legs, fried Oreos, and more. Make it a progressive dinner or return new tastes throughout the month.

     

     Everybody's Favorite Barbecue & Hot Sauce Festival, September 9-11
    This three-day festival travels around the country, and it'll make its first Texas stop of the season in The Colony before heading to Houston and San Antonio. Its aim is to celebrate the best barbecue in the country (no word on local vendors yet) and to showcase talented live acts — all with a spirit of diversity, in an outdoor setting. The festival also honors teachers, who can request free admission. Tickets are $20-$75.

     

     The Dallas Chocolate Festival, September 9-11
    The sweetest of all food events is back as an in-person three-day event at F.I.G. in downtown Dallas. Founded in 2009, it features world-renowned chocolate makers, samples, expertise, and sweets-a-plenty. New this year is a one-day conference for professionals, followed by the "main event" with exhibitors and samples, and a day of workshops on topics like pairing chocolate and whiskey. Tickets to the main event are $35, while workshops and other events range from $25 to $100, and are available online.

     

     36th Annual GrapeFest - A Texas Wine Experience, September 15-18
    Grapevine's signature event is the largest wine festival of the Southwest and boasts the largest consumer-judged wine competition in the nation. This year's festival will feature the best of Texas-grown wines, as well as selections from guest wineries in the California Sonoma Valley and the Italian Sicily region. In addition to signature events such as the People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic will be new VIP Experiences, with private tents, charcuterie boards, and more. Admission starts at $5.

A "Foodie Passport" for ages 21+ is $30, and gets you 10 food samples from vendors, an 8-ounce drink at the on-site bar, and a souvenir glass. The fun runs from 3-9 pm, and you can buy a ticket online.

     

     Dallasites101 1st Annual Seltzer Stroll, September 17

    Maya Creamery unrolls ice cream and Indian treats in Las Colinas

    An ice cream shop specializing in rolled ice cream is coming to Las Colinas: Called Maya Creamery, it’s part of a small but international chain, and is set to open in late July at 3341 Regent Blvd. #140, in the Stampede Crossing shopping center near I-635 and Belt Line Road.

    Maya Creamery is owned by Sukhi Singh Anand and his family, who previously owned seven locations in Phoenix, Arizona; his grandfather opened the first location in Mumbai in 1979.

    Anand opened the first Texas shop in McKinney in 2024, and they opened shops in Frisco in April, and Little Elm in May.

    “We chose to continue my grandfather’s legacy and expand in the U.S.,” Anand says.

    They specialize in rolled ice cream, which is made by pouring the ice cream mixture onto a freezing metal plate, mixing in toppings, then rolling it with a slicer, and arranging the rolls in cups. The trend first surfaced in the U.S. about a decade ago; according to Anand, they were pioneers in the rolled ice cream community in the U.S.

    "We were the first one to introduce rolls and Maya special plates, which became very popular among the Indian community," Anand says.

    Maya Creamery also offers Indian desserts such as falooda, mango lychee rolls, and rabdi, which are similar to a milkshake. There’s a rabdi gulab jamun plate with sweet fried dumplings on top of rabdi; and rabdi kulfi, which is like an ice pop.

    Other desserts include macarons, crepes, boba tea, and cassata, which is slices of ice cream on top of sponge cake. Most items on the menu are under $10.

    Irving is their fourth location in Texas, and Anand says they're in the process of opening six more across within the next year.

    "We chose this location due to its visibility from the highway and due to a high demand from people in Irving who were requesting Maya to bring a location more accessible to them," Anand says.
