If you’ve ever stopped into the TOMS Austin store on South Congress, you know that it’s much more than a shoe store. It’s part coffee shop, part social hub with movie nights, craft meet-ups, etc. During Spring Break & SXSW, TOMS Austin is opening its doors to you and the kids for One x One, a series of parties, craft sessions, concerts and more from Tuesday, March 15 through Saturday, March 19.
