Temperatures are going down. Leaves are falling. Pumpkin-spice is everywhere. And the Cowboys are on the gridiron! That can only mean one thing: it’s fall, y’all!

Here in Frisco, we are counting down the days until our favorite holiday, Halloween. We are looking forward to putting on a costume and snacking on candy from now until Easter.

If you’re stuck on a costume, we’ve got some fun ideas that are as easy to put together as they are Frisco inspired.

DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADER

Bring the hype to Halloween as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (DCC). Known as America’s sweethearts, the DCCs are pioneers of their sport. If you need a little more inspiration, you can find them performing routines on the touchdown deck during the Dallas Cowboys games.

Ready. Ok. Blue and white, Cowboys, let’s fight!

Jump into this gear:

  • White boots
  • White shorts
  • Blue button down – tied
  • White vest
  • Pom poms

BUTTERFLY

The art at Kaleidoscope Park is awe-inspiring and costume-inspiring, too! It's called Butterfly Rest Stop, and it's worth a visit to see the brilliant design and colors as they blow in the wind. 

Fly away with this look: 

  • Black shirt/bodysuit
  • Headband and Pipe cleaner antennas
  • Cardboard, fabric, scarf, or sheet to get creative for the wings. Find ideas here!

FC DALLAS PLAYER

FC Dallas's regular season is still kicking as the fall weather arrives. So, whether you need an iconic look to attend a match, or you’re looking to score the most candy, we recommend taking costume inspiration from these pros.

Take the pitch with this look:

  • Red or Grey FC Dallas jersey
  • Navy workout shorts
  • Knee-high socks
  • Athletic shoes
  • Soccer ball

MARIO FROM THE NATIONAL VIDEOGAME MUSEUM

If you’re a gamer, you know the National Videogame Museum showcases the games of today while paying tribute to the classics of the past. Whether you’re perusing the more than 100,000 pieces of video game memorabilia or challenging your friend to game of Pong, you can’t miss the statue featuring several iconic video game characters, including the original Nintendo character, Mario, just waiting for a selfie.

Press start on this getup:

  • Red long-sleeve shirt
  • Blue overalls
  • White gloves
  • Red baseball cap with “M” on the front
  • Add mustache for good measure
     

 

GOLFER

By now, you know Frisco is the home of PGA of America and some of the best golf that Texas has to offer. Here, you can tee off on resort-style country clubs, drive along fantastic fairways and sink a birdie on top-of-the-line public links. No matter your skill level, you just need to look the part.

Tee off in this attire:

  • Knee-high socks
  • Polo shirt
  • Bermuda shorts/dress slacks
  • Flat cap or Scally cap (for a more traditional look)
  • Nike baseball cap (for a more modern look)

ROCK STAR

Frisco has live music every night of the week and will host the Academy of Country Music Awards for the third year in a row on May 8, 2025. Rock on with a costume inspired by one of your favorite musicians who's played in Frisco from Lainey Wilson to Willie Nelson!

Hit the note with this look: 

  • A prop microphone
  • A prop or real guitar
  • Dress to look like your favorite rocker like fringe jacket, bellbottoms, and cowboy hat or rolled jeans, sneakers, or a concert tee to put your own spin on it.

SKYDIVER

Want to feel the rush of a free fall without jumping out of a plane? At iFly, an indoor skydiving facility, just about anyone can float in the 1,000-horsepower vertical wind tunnel. While you’re floating on a smooth cushion of air, smile for posterity photos you can take with you and use for inspiration to re-create this wind-blown look.

Take flight with this ensemble:

  • Goggles
  • Jumpsuit
  • Parachute

ROUGHRIDERS BASEBALL PLAYER

Baseball season may have just ended in Frisco, but you can root for the home team Frisco RoughRiders any time! This timeless costume idea is simple but recognizable and fun to accessorize, too.

Hit a home run with this uniform:

  • RoughRiders jersey or tshirt
  • White or grey pants
  • Baseball cap
  • Knee high socks
  • Cleats or athletic shoes
  • Baseball glove and/or plastic bat

TRAIN CONDUCTOR

Did you know, Frisco got its start in 1902 when the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway was built through the area? In fact, the name Frisco is a shortened version of the railway’s name. To learn more about Frisco’s local history, check out the Frisco Heritage Museum or the Museum of the American Railroad. To don this costume, we suggest you practice shouting “all aboard.”

Full steam ahead with this costume:

  • Overalls (preferable striped) or jeans with suspenders
  • White t-shirt
  • Red handkerchief
  • Train conductor hat
  • Wooden train whistle, just to be extra
