Happy Friday! We’ve searched out the best events in and around the Lake Travis area so you don’t have to.
Along with all the events happening around the lake, it’s a great weekend to go shopping! This weekend is Sales Tax Holiday from August 5-7. The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes.
If your tax-free shopping brings you closer to downtown, be sure to check out the 3rd Annual Austin Duck Derby on Saturday or the 6th Annual Austin Splash Mob on Sunday.
