| What Events Are Going On In Austin This Weekend |
Beat the Heat: Austin's Aquatic Adventures
Let's face it, Austin in June is basically a giant convection oven. But fear not, for Austin boasts a plethora of public pools that'll have you cool as a cucumber (or maybe a pickle, because everything's bigger in Texas, including your refreshment options). Pro-tip: Pack your floaties, because Barton Springs is legendary for a reason. Just be prepared to share the sunshine with a cast of characters that could rival a Wes Anderson film.
Feeling fancy? Take a dip in Deep Eddy Pool, a historic gem with a vibe that's more pool party chic than chlorine central.
Gear Up for Gearheads: A Celebration of Lowriders
Calling all car enthusiasts! This weekend, the Bullock Texas State History Museum is hosting "Carros y Cultura: Lowriding Legacies in Texas." Immerse yourself in the world of these iconic, customized vehicles and learn about the vibrant Mexican American community that keeps the lowrider tradition alive. Expect slammed suspensions, dazzling paint jobs, and enough chrome to blind a disco ball.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Bonus: This exhibit is perfect for that obligatory Instagram post that screams "cultured adventurer."

Now that you're all cooled down and car-cultured, it's time to explore the wild side of Austin. This city's nightlife is a kaleidoscope of options, from two-stepping at a honky-tonk to clinking glasses with the glitterati at a rooftop bar.
Feeling footloose and fancy-free? Catch some live music on Sixth Street. Just remember, with great music comes...well, let's just say earplugs are an option.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Prefer a more low-key vibe? Head to East Austin for a craft beer crawl and soak up the atmosphere in some of the city's hippest bars.
