Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: January 30th – February 1st

Written by Todd Hower | January 30, 2015

It’s Friday and thank goodness for that! Leander ISD has a winter break on February 2nd & 3rd , so I’m sure that many of you are taking off early and heading to the mountains for an extra long weekend of skiing and playing in the snow. Enjoy!

On February 1st, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off for Super Bowl XLIX. Enjoy the Big Game (and commercials) with some good food and craft beer.

Super Bowl Sunday is the end of the 30-day grace period on warnings for talking and texting while driving in Austin. So if you’re watching the game at a place other than on your sofa at home, just remember to drive hands-free and drink responsibly.

Here’s our roundup of weekend activities in and around the Lake Travis area:

SXSW 2015: March 13th – March 22nd

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 27, 2015

It’s getting to be that time of the year again, when the streets of downtown Austin are transformed into pop-up music venues, all corners of the town enveloped in a continuous flow of strings and drums.

Some of us got our first taste of life in Austin at SXSW, which tends to bring in music, film and culture-loving folks from all over the world. To truly get the most out of your time at the famous festival, you need a bit of a game plan of sorts, and the more pre-show planning you can do, the better.

Tickets have been on sale for months, and there is still time to snatch up a wrist band or badge in time for the festival. But hurry, the prices go up and up as the big date approaches.

Le Garage Boutique Sale in Austin: January 24 – 25

Written by Cathy Hale | January 20, 2015

It’s time for the fanciest semi-annual garage sale of all, Le Garage Sale. More than 70 local boutiques, designers and shops will be participating including Lake Travis faves like Adorn and Fab’rik, as well as other fashionista destinations like Beehive, Estilo, Exit 82 Art, Limbo Jewelry (our Jan. giveaway partner!), Sikara & Co. and Raven & Lilly just to name a few.

A $10 ticket gets you in the door, so you’d better have your game face on. This event is all about current fall/winter fashions and there are racks and racks of awesome finds. Shoppers tend to start lining up HOURS before the doors open to get their hands on the best bargains. That’s how serious Austinites take Le Garage. In addition to clothing, you’ll find all kinds of accessories from jewelry to bags to shoes to scarves and home decor — and everything in between!
