Festival Season Hits Lake Travis

Including Founders Day, LagoFest, Pecan Street Festival, Wine & Food Festival

This week, Lake Travis delivers a diverse roundup of events for everyone. Peel crawfish until your fingers prune, admire custom cars at von Motors, and enjoy comedy without a trip downtown.

The Star Party offers celestial views thanks to our minimal light pollution, while LagoFest and Dripping Springs Founders Day bring festival vibes to the area. Kids can follow Alice down the rabbit hole, while adults choose between testing their limits at the Xterra ATX triathlon or the perfect blend of shopping and sipping at Iron Wolf Ranch.

Grab your calendars or screenshot this email - this weekend has something for every taste and energy level.

Is your dog ready for their close-up? Local photographer Kim Ortiz is rolling out the red carpet for the 2025 Tails of Austin magazine - a glossy, full-color tribute to the most photogenic pups in town. The best part? It’s all for a good cause.

Here’s the scoop: Only 40 lucky dogs will be featured. The $300 participation fee includes a professional studio portrait session, a full-page magazine feature, a free copy of the mag, a $350 print credit, and an invite to a private launch party on November 1st.

Oh, and $150 of that fee goes directly to Austin Humane Society. That’s tails, treats, and doing good all in one sitting.
