Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: October 31– November 2nd

Written by Todd Hower | October 31, 2014

Happy Halloween! It seems like we’ve been doing Halloween activities all month long, but it’s finally here! Tonight is the final celebration and it’s all about trick-or-treating here in the Lake Travis area. Fill up your candy bowls and get ready for all the trick-or-treaters going door to door in search of the best candy.

If you’re not into passing out candy, just set a bowl outside your door and get out for some live music or head downtown for COTA Fan Fest. This free event is going on all weekend and it’s paired up with the 2014 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (not free) at Circuit of the Americas.

By the time Sunday gets here, it will be a good time to kick back, relax and get that extra hour of sleep. Daylight saving time will end at 2:00am this Sunday, so be sure and set your clocks back an hour before your head hits the pillow and we start it all over again on Monday. Enjoy your weekend and our amazing fall weather!

Lake Travis Area Neighborhood Guide: Lake Pointe on Lake Austin

Written by Todd Hower | October 22, 2014

Tucked away neatly between Bee Caves Rd. and Lake Austin is the Lake Pointe subdivision. Home to scenic streets, varying home styles and impressive views of the Hill Country and Lake Austin, this small Lake Travis area community has been a mainstay in the greater Austin area since the mid-90s. Located just 12 short miles from Austin, Lake Pointe is enjoyed by many that call this Lake Travis community home including families, working professionals, and retirees.

History

Development began on Lake Pointe subdivision in 1994, and in the following years most of the lots were built out as well. There are a handful of lots still available for custom home building, which can be found closer to the Lake Austin side of the neighborhood and directly across from Steiner Ranch.

Fall is the month for festivals and there’ll be no shortage of festivities for you to choose from this weekend. And with just two weeks remaining until Halloween, you might expect to start seeing some ghosts and ghouls, corn mazes and pumpkin patches popping up around town. If you happen to be one of those folks who loves the autumn and all it brings, you won’t be disappointed with this weekend’s lineup.

One of the most popular Halloween events in Austin is happening right here in Lake Travis at Lakeway City Park, the Great Goblin Glow. Head downtown for the largest gathering of Celts in Central Texas for the 18th Annual Celtic Fest at Fiesta Gardens on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend weather forecast looks amazing for a day out at Sweet Berry Farm or the FiestaJAM on Lake Marble Falls.

With all the cool music, warm fun and lively fall festivities, it’s going to be another hip and happening weekend in and around the Lake Travis area!
