From a celebration of frozen cocktails to an outdoor screening of a campy classic, there’s plenty happening around Austin this weekend. But first, meet the little pup hoping to find a family of her own.
Meet Nugget
Nugget is an approximately 6-month-old puppy available for adoption through the Austin Humane Society.
This petite, long-bodied pup came to Austin from Killeen, and the shelter is still learning more about her personality and how she does with other dogs, cats and children.
She may be a little nervous when meeting someone new, but during her visit to We Are Austin, Nugget didn’t need much time to get comfortable.
“She really loves to cuddle,” Trevor Scott said. “She’s a little bit nervous at first, but only just here in this little bit of time that we’ve been hanging out, she has already warmed up quickly.”
Nugget even started handing out kisses before the segment was over.
Visit the Austin Humane Society to learn more about Nugget and the adoption process.
Sip Your Way Through Freeze Week
Sarah’s weekend rundown begins with Freeze Week, a celebration of frozen drinks and cocktails happening at 13 Austin bars.
Participating locations include Yellow Jacket Social Club, Hotel Vegas and Kitty Cohen’s. Guests can collect stamps on a special passport as they visit participating spots, with opportunities to score event swag.
Movies, Vintage Finds and a New Coffee Shop
Movie fans can catch “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” as part of the Paramount Theatre’s Summer Classic Film Series at Stateside.
The City-Wide Vintage Sale also returns for two days of treasure hunting. Shoppers can browse everything from cowboy boots and clothing to jewelry, collectibles, dishes and rugs.
Coffee lovers can head south for the grand opening weekend of a new Cuvée Coffee location. Saturday’s neighborhood open house will include complimentary drinks and other festivities.

Celebrate Pride With “Death Becomes Her”
Movies in the Park: Pride Edition heads to Waterloo Park with a screening of the cult favorite “Death Becomes Her.”
“If you haven’t seen this movie, it is so much fun,” Sarah said. “It’s a classic. You got to get out there and watch it.”
Romance Reads and Sunday Bluegrass
BookPeople is celebrating Bookstore Romance Day on Saturday with a “blind date with a book,” themed cafe offerings, a card-making station and other romance-inspired activities.
Then wind down the weekend with the CTBA Sunday Bluegrass Jam at Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches. The gathering with the Central Texas Bluegrass Association offers an easygoing dose of live music to close out Sunday.
