Fall has arrived, and you know what that means: time to start your Christmas shopping. Ha! Kidding … sort of.

Now that Autumn is upon us, it's hard not to get a little giddy over hoodie weather and its related activities -- even with all the cancellations COVID-19 concerns has resulted in. The seasonal tradition of corn mazes at all three El Paso-area farms, for example, has been put on pause until next year.

But not all the fall fun has been scrapped. There won't be as many haunted house attractions this year, but the zombies and creepy clowns are out there, and you can still make your annual fall pilgrimage to Southern New Mexico and pick your own pumpkins.

So, if you're ready to mask up and venture out, take a look at my frighteningly fun guide to the best socially distanced fall-time events and scary attractions this weekend has to offer.

Pumpkin Patches

La Union: U-Pick at the Pumpkin Patch (by reservation only) or purchase pre-picked from the display (no RSVP necessary). Friday 11am-4pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, and Sunday 11am-6pm. Only the pumpkin patch will be open. All other activities, including the maze are closed. [More Info]
