Alamo Drafthouse Lakeline is hosting their Cartoon Cereal Party: Marvel-Ous Edition this Saturday May, 10 at 12 PM. If a Marvel montage weren’t enough to take you back to the days of oversized sleeping shirts or superhero underpants, there will be an all-you-can-eat sugary cereal bar. What? Who doesn’t want to be a kid again? If you can’t beat ’em, mom, just join ’em.
Second Saturdays are for families at Laguna Gloria with hands-on art-making activities inspired by the current exhibitions on view. From 11 AM – 3 PM kids ages 2 – 11 can enjoy family-friendly performances, meet artists, and even make their own works of art to take home. This Second Saturday the Tiny Regatta is inspired by artist Orly Genger’s seaworthy materials.
Are you a mom? Do you love a mom? Do you have a mom? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions then Listen to Your Mother might be the event for you (and your mom).

Kid’s Night at Nutty Brown…Can’t beat free music & fun in an atmosphere that is relaxing for the adults and stimulating enough for the kids to keep them up and running long enough to carry on a conversation. Moonwalk, face painting, and balloons by Twistin’ Art, and live music.
The Red Poppy Festival kicks off Friday, Apr. 25 in Historic Georgetown and continues through Sunday, Apr. 27. The whole family can enjoy arts, crafts, a parade, a car show, a kids area, food, music and more, and admission is FREE!
If the slogan “Keep Austin Weird” had its own festival, Eeyore’s Birthday would be it.

Dress code will be Austin-formal: tutus, bikinis, fairy wings and flip flops. Costumes are encouraged and there will be a contest. Props: hula hoops, bubbles and flower garlands.
Monster Jam comes to Austin this weekend for the first time ever! All the cool girls and car crazy boys are in for what will probably be the best moment of heir young lives ever.
