| What Events Are Happening In Austin Texas This Weekend |
Calling all Music Mavens!
- Live and Loud: Catch some legendary Texas twang at the Broken Spoke for their infamous line dancing nights. Two-left-feet? No worries, there'll be more whooping and hollering than fancy footwork. (Just don't trip over Willie Nelson's ghost!)
- Movin' and Groovin': Head to Zilker Park for the free Zilker Summer Symphony. Pack a picnic basket, grab your best bud, and sprawl out under the stars for a night of classical tunes under the Texas sky. (Bonus points for competitive glowsticking!)
Foodie Fiesta!
- Grubbin' Galore: The Mueller Farmers Market is the place to be for fresh local produce, artisanal cheeses that would make a Frenchman weep, and food trucks piled high with enough tacos to fuel a mariachi band marathon.
- Spice it Up: Feeling adventurous? Take a taco tour on the East Side. Hit up all the hidden gems for melt-in-your-mouth barbacoa, fiery habanero salsa, and enough breakfast tacos to keep you going 'til next weekend.
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
