Hey Austin, the weekend is basically here and there is absolutely no reason to be sitting on your couch scrolling through Netflix. This city has too much going on for that, and we rounded up some of the best ways to spend your Saturday and Sunday right here in the 512.
Whether you are looking to catch some live music, explore a local market, or just wander around a cool neighborhood with a cold drink in hand, Austin is delivering the goods this weekend. Seriously, this town never really slows down, and mid-May is one of those sweet spots before the summer heat really cranks up — so get outside while the getting is good.
Local spots around East Austin and South Congress are buzzing with pop-ups and weekend events, and the food and drink scene is popping as usual. If you have been meaning to check out that new patio bar or finally hit up that taco spot everyone keeps talking about, make this the weekend you actually do it.
Live music is always a given here, but this weekend feels especially stacked. Keep an eye on your favorite venues along Red River and Sixth Street, because there are solid shows lined up across genres — whether you are into indie, country, or something a little weirder (this is Austin, after all).
Bottom line: get off your couch, grab your people, and go enjoy this city. The weather is cooperating, the vibes are right, and Austin always rewards those who show up. Check back with us for specific event updates and go make some memories this weekend.
