• Recommendations for a house cleaning service, every two weeks

  Thanks for all the input! I ended up reaching out to Tidy Hands and set up biweekly cleans starting next week.

• Recommendations for a house cleaning service, every two weeks

  Both of us work long hours and the house is losing. Looking for a recurring clean every other week, East Austin near Airport Blvd. Would love a company rather than one person so there is backup when someone is out sick.

• ACL 2026 at Zilker: two weekends, Charli XCX, Lorde, Twenty One Pilots

  Noon to 10:00 PM at Zilker in early October still means real sun for the first half of the day. Shade at that park is limited once you are in front of a stage.

• Ethereal Horror Fest takes over Violet Crown Oct 16 to 18

  The calendar listing is the place to check once the full schedule posts. Panels and screenings are often ticketed differently.

• Ethereal Horror Fest takes over Violet Crown Oct 16 to 18

  The short film blocks are usually where these festivals earn the ticket. Easier to take a chance on a 12 minute film than a feature from someone you have never heard of.

• First human West Nile case of the year confirmed in Travis County

  Good reminder. Long sleeves in August sounds miserable but the dusk and dawn part is easy enough to work around if you shift trail time earlier.

• PBR Gambler Days at Moody Center in August

  It is really not that complicated if you plan ahead. Just budget extra time to walk across UT's campus to 2001 Robert Dedman Drive. Give yourself an extra half hour and you will be fine for the 7:45 PM start.

• Road to Lone Star Le Mans Racing Fanfest at Branch Park Pavilion

  Branch Park Pavilion is an easy place to walk around once you get there. If you are bringing kids for the interactive fan zone, it should be a fun setup. Just get there early at 10:00 AM so you have plenty of time for the simulators before it gets packed.

• Ella Mai at ACL Live in August 2026

  If you want to avoid the worst of the parking garage queues right at 310 West Willie Nelson Boulevard, park a few blocks north or west and take a brisk ten-minute walk. Coming down Lavaca or Guadalupe gets you right into the district without stuck turn lanes. It is a lovely area to walk around right before 7:00 PM if the evening heat is not too brutal.

• Free / cheap kid activities in August before school starts?

• Future Front Swim Session No. 25 at The LINE Austin

  The LINE Austin is super easy to spot right on East Cesar Chavez Street near the lake. If you want to skip the vehicle hassle entirely, just walk or ride a bike down the trail to get there.

• Austin Chronicle 36th Annual Hot Sauce Festival coming up August 30

  Definitely bring water and stay hydrated. August 30 in Austin at 3:00 PM in an open venue is standard summer heat, and adding capsaicin on top of that is serious business. Pace yourself while walking around the grounds and casting your votes.

• Brisketfest 2026 set for August at Far Out Lounge

  If you are driving down from North Austin or Round Rock, cut over west and take Menchaca down past Ben White, then head over to South Congress near Stassney. It avoids the worst of the highway backups.

• MODERN: A 2-Day Vietnamese American Festival at AARC in August

  If you want to avoid the worst of the 183 logjam, you can cut across using Berkman Drive through Mueller and come up Cameron Road from the south. The Asian American Resource Center is a great location for this kind of community festival. Looking forward to seeing the fashion shows and live music on August 7th!

• Central Texas Custom Bicycle Festival at South Austin Rec Center

  BurnetRdBrandon, do not apologize at all! Like RedRiverRoadie said, it is completely free to the public. You can just show up at 12:00 PM to check out the custom lowrider bikes, vintage strollers, scale models, live music, and the swap meet. Bring plenty of water since it is August!
