Happy weekend, Lake Travis!
There will be a lot of people jumping into Lake Travis for a swim this Saturday at the 2016 Lake Travis Relay. This event is listed as one of the top 50 open water events in the United States and one of the top 100 open water events in the world!
If you’re looking for a festival this weekend, you have a big city or get out of town option. Check out ACL Music Festival Weekend Two at Zilker Park or the 30th Annual Gruene Music & Wine Festival at the Gruene Historic District in New Braunfels.
