One of the events that signal Fall is on it’s way is Steinfest. Plano Steinfest is a fun and unique interpretation of Oktoberfest. It is held in Downtown Plano and throughout Haggard Park making it more reminiscent of the classic Plano Balloon festival. It’s quaint, the weather is typically taken a notch down from the blistering Summer heat and the attractions cater to every member of your family.
