Things to do in Austin this weekend

  • Things to do

Embrace a European approach to grocery shopping and plan a dinner or two with ingredients from local producers at one of the SFC Farmers' Markets across town. One is downtown at Republic Square, and another is in Sunset Valley, both on Saturday.

  • Comedy

Shake up your Sunday scaries with some laughs at the humor speakeasy East Austin Comedy Club inside Tiger Den. Complete with a cash prize raffle, audience members could make a profit out of posting up in the venue while enjoying rising names in the comedy scene. 

  • Music

An intimate moment with you and a handful of fellow music lovers, SoFar Sounds is back with another secret show somewhere in East Austin. Find the excitement of not knowing who is playing or where when you book your ticket to a showcase that bucks concert-going expectations. The gig will take place on East Caesar Chavez, the exact address of which will be released 36 hours before.
