Old Pecan Street Festival - dowtown Austin, TX
The Old Pecan Street Festival is this weekend. A few years ago this was the very first festival that I took Jaimi and the kids too. The festival is held on the East end of 6t street and the adjoining side streets, all of which is blocked off. I highly recommend this one if you are looking for stuff to do this weekend. We will probably make it out on Sunday to enjoy the petting zoo and carnival. For the more mature visitors, Bob Schnieder is playing on Saturday, they have really cool jewelry and crafts, and they serve adult beverages on top of that. See more information at the Old Pecan Street website.
Bun Run 5K. If casually strolling 6th street downtown is not your thing you could try the Bun Run, also this weekend. This 5K fun run takes place on Sunday and starts at 8:00a.m. The race starts at Auditorium Shores and will presumably work its way around the lake and back to Auditorium Shores. Cost is $25, see more information here.
