Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: October 10 – 12

Written by Todd Hower | October 10, 2014

It never comes soon enough, but it’s finally here — the weekend! We hope you had enough time to recover from last weekends activities and that you’re ready to get out there again and enjoy all the happenings in the Lake Travis area and beyond.

Around the lake this weekend, we have plenty of live music, Cars and Coffee at the Oasis, and the Lake Travis Relay — which is a pretty big deal in the open water racing world. It’s one of Austin’s top 10 recreational events, one of the top 50 open water races in the United States and one of the top 100 open water races in the world!

And in case you forgot, we live kinda close to a bunch of tall buildings and a park that is holding the second weekend of a little music festival known as the ACL Music Festival. If you’re not into the big city events, we recommend a road trip to New Braunfels for the 23rd Annual Gruene Music and Wine Fest going on in the Gruene Historic District.

Whatever you decide on, have a great weekend and we’ll see y’all out and about.

Socktober: Be Part of Making Good Stuff Happen

Written by Todd Hower | October 8, 2014

Did you know that socks are one of the most frequently requested items by shelters and often overlooked when people make donations?

Socktober is a campaign to get people to donate socks and other much needed goods to the homeless. It was started back in 2010 by a family as a fun way to get friends and loved ones involved in doing something important.

It was July of 2012 when the same family started a web show featuring Robby Novak, the ten year old YouTube sensation, also known as Kid President. He posts a video each Thursday encouraging his followers to “be more awesome”.

Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: October 3 – 5

It’s weekend one of the Austin City Limits Music Festival and like any festival as big as ACL, it can come with mixed emotions. It’s hard not to love all the live music, eats, Austin kiddie limits, the art market and more. On the other hand, you have crowds and crowds of people and crazy traffic.

So that usually leaves you with two choices — you’re going to head downtown and brave the crowds to enjoy this iconic Austin event, or you’re going to shack up like a hermit for the next two weekends and hope that some day this event will move to another city. But if you decide on the latter, you don’t need to be a recluse … there are plenty of things for you to do around the Lake Travis area where you can enjoy live music and several other family friendly activities with much smaller crowds (I recommend the 1st Annual Poodie Party in Spicewood).

Get out there and enjoy the perfect fall weather that is here for the weekend!

It’s the first weekend of fall and with it comes a whole bunch of stuff to do outside.

Fall is a celebration of all things pumpkin and you can dive right in this weekend by taking a Hill Country excursion to Sweetberry Farms in Marble Falls for the beginning of the Harvest Fall of Fun — be sure and stop for a slice of pie at the Blue Bonnet Cafe. Keep it closer to home with a visit to Pumpkin Palooza at Whole Foods in Bee Cave or head down to the town for a choice of several fall festivals including the The Pecan Street Festival, AustOberfest, and the Texas Craft Brewers Festival.

And there’s plenty more for you to do in this weekends line-up. Get out there and enjoy this amazing fall weather!
