It’s been a long, hot summer, but this weekend marks the official start of fall — meaning cooler weather, the crunching of leaves, and cozy sweaters are upon us.

Like us, North Hills falls for those seasonal vibes we all love, with fun events, festive decor, and endless wardrobe-refreshing shopportunities.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s happening around the district this season:

  • Midtown Music Fest | Saturday, Sept. 21 | Enjoy a day of live music, food trucks, beverage tents + local vendors
  • North Hills Wine Walk | Oct. 19 | Help raise money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund
  • Holiday Shop and Stroll + Tree Lighting Celebration | Nov. 23 | Kick off the holiday season (and celebrate 20 years of North Hills) with a 41-ft Christmas tree lighting and special Santa welcome, plus live entertainment, holiday crafts for kids, and a vendor village.

Bonus: Keep an eye out for new restaurants and shops opening throughout the season, like the highly anticipated three-story Restoration Hardware Gallery with a rooftop restaurant + bar opening in October.
