It’s Friday, Lake Travis, and Turkey Day is almost upon us. There’s a lot to do this weekend, so get ready for some fun.
Before we dive into our weekend events, we wanted you to know there are plenty of local options for your Turkey Day enjoyment …
Get your foodie fix with a modern twist at Apis Restaurant & Apiary with a special Thanksgiving Day dining experience (pictured above). You can catch a free Thanksgiving Day celebration at Mercer Street Dance Hall with Bob Appel or chill at Open Mic Night with Carl Hutchens at Grumpy’s Saloon.
In case you missed us …
