AUSTIN, Texas — Before you hear, “Mom, what are we doing this weekend?” we’ve got you covered. Here’s a few things you can do with the family, including lots of free fun, in this Weekend Check.
Bat Fest
Austin is going batty on Saturday.
Bat Fest is celebrating 20 years on the Congress Avenue Bridge with live music, food, vendors and kids’ activities.
And of course, watching over a million bats fly before sunset is always the best part.
Free Sunday at the Bullock
How about a free museum day?
Sunday is H-E-B’s Free First Sunday at the Bullock.
Admission is free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus there are hands-on activities all about Texas water, story time, and even a free film.
Lone Star Le Mans
If you’ve got a need for speed, COTA is the place to be.
The world endurance championship is back for Lone Star Le Mans through Sunday.
There’s practice, qualifying, fan activities, and a six-hour race on Sunday featuring some of the world’s top sports cars.
Labor Day Thrifting
We can’t let a holiday weekend go by without talking thrift deals.
Several local spots, including Salvation Army, Texas Thrift and Thrift Town have 50 percent off almost everything in the store on Labor Day.
Plus, Goodwill Central Texas is doing a $2 Jeans Drop!
