Lake Travis Area Weekend Roundup: May 22nd – May 25th

Written by Todd Hower | May 22, 2015

It’s starting to look and feel like we’re living in Seattle in the Lake Travis area.

But don’t let El Niño get you down! All this rain — and finally some heavy rain in the right spot — has brought the water level of Lake Travis up almost 5 feet in the past week and a total of 11 feet this year.

We have two public boats ramps on Lake Travis open for Memorial Day weekend — you just might have to go boating in the rain!

The big event on Friday night is the Spring Jamboree Scrimmage at Lake Travis High School. The rest of this 3-day weekend is filled with plenty of live music and events that celebrate Memorial Day — the official start of summer!

Rain or shine, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend in and around the Lake Travis area. More importantly, let’s take some time this weekend to remember, respect and be thankful for all of those who died serving our nation while in the military service.

Here’s your weekend roundup:

Are you ready for some football?

This Friday, Lake Travis High School is gearing up for the fall season with their annual Spring Jamboree Scrimmage on Friday, May 22. It’s a great opportunity for family, friends and students to celebrate our 5-time state championship program with a sneak peek at what’s in store for the 2015 season.

While the first regular season home game isn’t until September 4, Director of Athletics and Head Football Coach Hank Carter is ready:

“2015 is going to be a great year for the Lake Travis football program. We are excited about the future and have a ton of talented players in the system right now.”

Speaking of talent, before we share more details about the Spring Jam, let’s talk about the rest of the LTHS teams that are shining bright as the school year comes to a close.

We know this rainy weather has got some of you feeling blue, tweeting out, “What is this!? Seattle?” But the good news is all of our lakes are filling up just in time for summer fun.

The rest of May is a busy and exciting month with college graduation right around the corner, LTYA baseball playoffs in full swing and the last day of school quickly approaching. Making summer plans for the kiddos is easy with our 2-part Summer Camp Series where we cover Art, Dance & Theater and Science, Hobbies & Sports in the Lake Travis area.

This weekend is buzzing with events like the Grand Opening of The Grove at Steiner Ranch Community, a Fine Arts Show in Lakeway and live music throughout the Hill Country. You can get crafty with local artisans at the Renegade Craft Fair or celebrate Craft Beer Week with a cold brew. Mmm, beer.

Whatever you decide to do, pack an umbrella and have a great weekend!

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! You know that Sunday is your day moms, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a pass for the whole weekend?

Alright dads and kids — we’re kind of known for procrastinating — so let’s not try to do all this on Sunday morning. Today is the day to at least get out and buy a card. If you haven’t made any plans, now is a good time to check out our list of Lake Travis Area Spas or book a stay-cation in the Lake Travis area.

If you’re really lucky, you might find a reservation at one of the Best Bets for Mother’s Day Brunch. Be sure to enter our May Giveaway or grab a gift certificate from Bluebird Photography Studio for the perfect Mother’s Day present. Or just get the kids out of the house and give mom a quiet weekend at home.

And don’t forgot to call your mother!

Have a great weekend in and around the Lake Travis area.

The festivals keep coming and there is no shortage of them in and around the Lake Travis area this weekend.

Kick your weekend off listening to live music on your favorite patio on Friday night. But don’t stay out too late — Saturday is Lake Travis SpringFest at the Hill Country Galleria starting at 11am.

Kids seem to have endless amounts of energy, so get them out of bed for an early morning run on Sunday at Lake Travis ISD FitSmart.

If you like BIG festivals, then make a trip to the big city for one of the largest, and longest-running, arts/crafts and music festivals in the nation — the Pecan Street Festival is this Saturday and Sunday.

And if you’re not into festivals, then check out what else is on tap in and around Lake Travis this weekend — or just spend your day chilling on the lake.
