One of the best things about summer is celebrating our beloved country’s independence. The 4th of July weekend in the Lake Travis area and beyond is filled with events that include neighborhood parades, cookouts, live music, and fireworks!

Lake Travis Lifestyle has put together some of the awesome ways you can celebrate the Red, White and Blue. It’s a big weekend that starts a little early with live music on Thursday night, so we decided to get this info out today instead of Friday.

The 10th Annual Blanco Lavender Festival: Celebrating the Purple Herb

Written by |

The festival on the Square

This past weekend was the 10th annual Blanco Lavender Festival, and I’m still reeling.

Tent after tent of lavender products; from soap to fresh lavender, from ice cream to ceramics — everything was a slight shade of purple.

If you are a fan of the heavenly herb, Blanco is a Hill Country town that you should know about. The Lavender Capital of Texas is home to some of the more fruitful and abundant lavender farms around.

Every year the free festival is put on by the Blanco Chamber of Commerce, and seeks to showcase the lovely purple zest in all of its varieties. Vendors make their way down to the square to set up and share their version of lavender products.

IMG_3535KGSR’s Blues on the Green, a free concert series that runs every other Wednesday during the summer at Zilker Park, begins this Wednesday, June 4th .*  Saints of Valory and special guest Wild Child kick off the 2014 season.

An Austin tradition now in its 24th year, Blues on the Green provides a fun, laid-back atmosphere that appeals to music-lovers of all ages. Best of all, it’s free!

There’s always a good mix of folks at Blues on Green, which makes for some pretty great people-watching. You’ll see families, after-work crowd, hipsters, retirees, artists, college students and more. It’s cool to see so many different types of people coming together for the same simple purpose — to enjoy outdoor live music on a beautiful summer night in Austin.
