Holidays

Juneteenth Central Texas is holding a celebration for the newly federally recognized holiday. The goal of the East Austin event is to bring people together.

A fireworks show and patriotic children's costume contest is being put on by the City of San Marcos on July 4.

The celebration kicks off at 8 a.m. July 2 with the Run, White & Blue 5K through the streets of Bastrop, with the festival following at noon in Fisherman's Park.

On Friday, June 17, all ACC campus sites will be closed in observance of Juneteenth, the first year the college will be formally observing the holiday by closing.

Father's Day is June 19 and can show your appreciation to that special person in your life and help support local businesses.

Even though Sunday was one of the hottest days of the week, that did not stop hundreds of cyclists from embarking on the Black History Bike Ride.

Festival organizers say there will still be fireworks on July 4, and they are hoping for a wetter spring in 2023.

Texas Parks & Wildlife says the decrease is due to increased boating safety awareness and patrols by game wardens and other marine safety officers.

“This year, we’re expecting 22 million people to fly out of the airport, which is double what the airport served when we first opened,” said Sam Haynes, public information officer for AUS.

Austin police want to remind those heading to Lake Austin this Memorial Day weekend that a ban on personal watercrafts begins Friday evening and ends Tuesday, May 31.

The City of Austin is closing its government offices Monday, May 30 in observance of Memorial Day.

Boaters need to remove all plants, mud and debris from boats, trailers, vehicles and gear and drain the water from all equipment and on-board receptacles before leaving a lake.
