Celina Friday Night Market – Fall Edition
The Friday Night Market is a beloved tradition in Celina, and the fall edition makes it even more charming. Held once a month in Downtown Celina, this open-air market brings together local vendors, artisans, musicians, and food trucks in a festive, family-friendly setting.
It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a crisp evening stroll through the Square, grab a warm drink or a sweet treat, and discover one-of-a-kind items from local makers. Families at The Parks often make it a tradition to walk the market together, enjoy live music, and support small businesses while soaking up the atmosphere.
Bobcat Football and Friday Night Lights
If you live in Celina, you know Friday nights are for football. The Celina Bobcats have a long-standing legacy of pride and tradition, and cheering them on under the stadium lights is something families look forward to all season.
Tailgating with neighbors, wearing orange and white spirit gear, and hearing the roar of the crowd brings the entire town together. For families at The Parks at Wilson Creek, it’s a way to connect with the community and make memories that last.
Local Pumpkin Patches and Fall Photo Ops
Nothing says fall like a trip to a pumpkin patch. Just a short drive from The Parks, you’ll find places like Preston Trail Farms and Team Family Farms, both offering fun for the whole family.
Spend a Saturday picking pumpkins, wandering through corn mazes, and taking fall-themed photos surrounded by hay bales and sunflowers. It’s a great way to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and start a few traditions your kids will never forget.
Thanksgiving-Themed Fun and Volunteer Opportunities

Many families in The Parks at Wilson Creek enjoy finding ways to share the season of gratitude by donating canned goods, delivering meals, or volunteering with their kids. These small acts of kindness reflect the true heart of our community.
