- Attend SXSW – The festival has gone virtual this year, but there are a variety of speakers, concerts, and films you’ll be happy you checked out at SXSW.
- Kayak or paddleboard along Lady Bird Lake – The scenic lake offers great views of the Austin area, and you can catch sight of some of the wildlife that calls the area home.
