If you are looking for a fun Springtime day trip to take with the kiddos, venture out to Sweetberry Farm in Marble Falls. Home to a very popular “Harvest of Fall Fun” festival from late September through early November, the smaller crowd and gorgeous weather during the Spring Harvest makes the farm a perfect activity for the whole family.
Come celebrate Earth Day this Tuesday, April, 22 at the Austin Community College (ACC) Riverside Campus at the Greener Choices Earth Day Festival. WIth spring in full bloom, what better way to celebrate than with live music, workshops, children’s activities all for $5 or 2 canned goods?
Red Bud Isle may be more familiar to dog lovers than parents, but the small peninsula offers beautiful views and freedom for all. It is an ideal setting for children to walk their own dog without too much oversight. Red Bud Isle is a wonderful place to see wildlife, from Great Blue Herons and American Coots to squirrels and turtles outwitting the canine crowd.
ZACH Theatre presents the ageless classic Pinocchio. Meet Geppetto, a simple carpenter, who dreams of having a son, and Pinocchio, his puppet, who dreams of being a boy. Share in their adventures as Geppetto is swallowed by a whale, then cheer for Pinocchio as he searches for the courage to save him. It’s a wonderful lesson in honesty for those whose noses don’t grow every time they tell a fib, and a lovely tale of what it means to be a family.
This weekend you can attend an iconic arts festival, one of the biggest folk and Americana festivals, participate in a stand up paddleboard race, see some free movies, hunt for eggs, take the kids to the theatre and a whole lot more!
