Labor Day Weekend

Lake Travis Lifestyle Weekend Roundup: September 1-3, 2017

Written by Todd Hower | September 1, 2017

This incredible unedited photo was sent to us by Braden Frame with Lake Travis Fire Fighters. They currently have eight fire fighters dispatched to Houston to aid in Harvey relief efforts. In order for the RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) to get where it needed to be, they had to drive a convoy of fire trucks through the deep floodwaters under an ominous sky.

Lake Travis fire trucks have now been dispatched to put out the fires in Crosby. You can follow their amazing journey here.

This is just one of the thousands of images of bravery we have seen in the aftermath of Harvey. Yesterday we shared stories about Lake Travis area residents who are lending a hand in the relief effort. More and more Lake Travis businesses are joining the fight to rebuild and recover.

Lake Travis resident Michelle Webb, a dance teacher at Hudson Bend Middle School and owner of Bowblicious Designs has created custom #TexasStrong tees that she’s selling with proceeds to benefit Harvey victims. (You may remember her name from our article about the Kilgore Rangerettes.) Scroll down to see pics in the “Harvey relief efforts in Lake Travis” section.

Mayor Alder is giving Austinites a chance to help out from their own homes by building ‘Welcome Kits’ for evacuees. As of Thursday morning, JJ Watt’s Houston relief effort has reached and surpassed its astounding $10 million goal. It’s still climbing. Just wow.

Putting Harvey’s rain into perspective: The amount of rain that fell during Harvey could fill Lake Travis to capacity a little over 54 times!

Enjoy your long Labor Day weekend and thank you for everything you do, Lake Travis. Big state. Biggest hearts.

LTL Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend is here! The holiday created for workers — and to fill the holiday-free gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

Check out the lineup of live music and events in and around the Lake Travis area. Journey out to the Hill Country for Austin Flea 1st Sundays at Jester King Brewery. Get to the big city for the Texas Longhorns season opener this Sunday or the Austin Triathlon on Labor Day.

Whatever you decide, enjoy the 3-day weekend and the short week ahead. We’ll see you out and about!

Here’s your Lake Travis Lifestyle weekend roundup for September 2-5, 2016.

Labor Day Weekend 2013 – Live Music, Dancing, Comedy, and More!

Written by Todd Hower | August 30, 2013

Labor Day 2013

Are you ready for a break after the first week of school in the Lake Travis area? It’s almost like the school calendar was planned knowing that you would appreciate a three day weekend after this week. The first Monday in September is Labor Day!

What started out as a holiday to keep union workers from getting angry about the Pullman Strike has become the symbolic end of summer. And that means a three day weekend to barbecue, go shopping for Labor Day sales, and watch college football.

It’s also considered by some the last day of the year when it’s fashionable to wear white. So put on your white leisure suit with dancing shoes and get your three day weekend started! Here are a few things going on in the Lake Travis area.

Live Music and Dancing

The Oasis – the Lake Travis original to watch the sun go down. After the colors fade and it cools down a bit, head over to the Starlight Terrace for dancing.
