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.
