All right, This morning, Allison Vogel from Austin Family Magazine
has taken copious notes here to talk about some fun
day trips and fun events in and around the Austin
area.
Not only this weekend, but in the weekends to come,
So many fun things and people this time of year,
especially with the kids getting out of school or people
coming home,
you're looking for things to do.
Yeah. And so we often think of things in Austin,
but these are, you know,
kind of close by around the area.
So yeah, good to get out.
So the first one, explore Elgin arts and culture.
So Yep, this weekend in in Elgin.
There's more to Elgin than good BBQ.
You can Scroll down Main Street,
hear the music. You know,
interact with the artists performances and then even take some
guided tours of some historical sites.
If you're lucky, if moms into that,
that could double as a nice Mother's Day weekend outing
and hopefully it's not raining there.
Alright, the next weekend you heading down to Kyle?
Yeah. So if you are named Kyle,
this is your festival. Talked about this?
Yes. Because you can participate in a Guinness World Record
attempt for the most kyles in one place.
If you are not, there's still live music on 2
stages,
there's carnival rides, food vendors in a market and there's
a ribs,
Rita's and fajitas competitions. So bring your appetite.
I mean, if you're a Kyle,
it's almost like you have a like a moral obligation.
Everybody else is just welcome to go there.
Exactly what comes after that.
So then we have Whimsy and Wonder and Liberty Hill,
May 18th and the idea here is to immerse your
family in art.
There's a children's imagination garden where they can participate in
hands on art installations and actually interact with the artists.
So that's super fun. On the 25th you're heading down
to Wimberley.
Yes. So this is great.
It's open for. It's like a night time bike ride.
It's open for skill levels,
all different skill levels and ages.
So you just want to get out.
The glow sticks and the battery powered lights decorate your
bike before heading down.
Tickets can be bought in advance for $10 each and
the ride starts at 8:00.
And then yet we've moved ahead about a month.
Something you want to point out,
a big festival down in Stonewall?
Yeah, so this is a 2 day festival all about
the beaches.
And on Saturday there's a Peach eating contest,
a Peach show, they crown,
a Peach queen. There's mutton busting at the rodeo.
You'll need tickets for the rodeo and the dance in
the evening,
but the daytime activities are free.
There's lots of fun, something to go ahead and plan
for now and again.
This is really just kind of a small sampling as
we get into May and in the summer months,
so many of these small communities.
Not very far out of town will have big events
so it's just kind of a good idea maybe to
keep an eye out for things.
Exactly. And it's kind of nice to escape your house
during this time because it's always so crazy And this
is just have a little fun as a family and
recenter. Absolutely. And of course people will be planning the
big summer vacation.
A lot will. But that doesn't have to be the
only thing you do some of those little events in
and around on any given weekend can be a big
deal. More information on those events and just everything else
that's going on at austinfamily.com.
Awesome. Thank you very much for the social planning.
And again heads up to the Kyles.
That's not that's not a suggestion.
That's not You're going to Kyle.
We'll be right back.
