Local art teachers lead the hands on projects in a shaded outdoor space, and Pueblo Viejo will be serving breakfast tacos onsite.

Father’s Day @ Beachside Billy’s & Volente Beach
Sunday, June 21 | 11 am – 6 pm | GA is $15, $20 at the door (and dads are free!) here
One of our favorite summertime spots, Volente Beach is celebrating Father’s Day with free admission for dads, live music, BBQ specials, family games, and waterpark fun on Lake Travis. Kids can spend the day racing down waterslides, splashing in the kiddie area, or taking on the floating obstacle course. Family games begin at 1:30pm, and the waterpark is open from 11am to 6pm. Grab your tickets here.
5th Annual Father’s Day Celebration @ Ski Shores Cafe
Sunday, June 21 | 1 pm – 5 pm | Check out the menu and prices here (free to attend)
Ski Shores Cafe is hosting its 5th Annual Father’s Day Celebration on Sunday with live DJs, burgers, cold drinks, and one of the best waterfront views in Austin. Pull up a chair under the trees, watch the boats cruise by on Lake Austin, and spend the afternoon celebrating Dad from 1pm to 5pm. There is space for kids to play, but families with little ones should know this isn’t a fenced play area and the dock sits right on the water, so this one is a bit more hands on. Get all the details, plus menu here.
