On Saturday, a cold front finally brought a temperature dip and drew crowds of people outdoors.
“Once I got outside, I was like, ‘Okay, let me change my wardrobe, you know, feel the fall vibes," said Brandon Collier.
“It is sunny and cool," said three-year-old Albert Torres.

Savannah Nordstrom, director of the market, said they bring in truckloads of pumpkins from West Texas for Pumpkin Day, and this year, they expect even more sales than last year.
“On this day, we sell about 3,000 pumpkins," Nordstrom said.
She said because of the weather this year, you may not find as many giant pumpkins in their patch.
“It was really hard, especially with the limited rain, so some of the pumpkins are a little bit smaller, but we still have over 20 varieties," she said.
Still, plenty for a bigger crowd is also expected this year- an estimated 12,000 people.
Although Pumpkin Day is over, the Dallas Farmers Market pumpkin patch is open every day until October 31st:
- Monday - Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
