Lake Travis Lifestyle Weekend Roundup: November 17-19, 2017

Written by Cathy Hale | November 17, 2017

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 …

On Thursday, Cathy shared a Lake Travis development update complete with businesses that are now open and the ones opening soon. Plus, we highlighted a few potential roadwork plans that could ease your traffic woes.

In other holiday news …

Christmastime in Lake Travis means your event calendar will be full. All of your favorite spots in the area are hosting a variety of holiday celebrations throughout the rest of November and into December, so keep an eye on our Save the Date section for info.

Enjoy your weekend, friends!
