This Weekend in Austin, Texas - May 29-30, 2026
Austin is never short on things to do, and this one is no exception. Whether you're looking for live music, great theater, local art, or something a little different, there's something worth getting off the couch for. Here's our roundup of what we're loving this weekend.
The Robber Bridegroom at Zach Theatre All weekend | Times vary
If you haven't been to Zach Theatre lately, this is a great reason to go. The Robber Bridegroom is a high-energy bluegrass musical full of live fiddle and banjo, big laughs, sweeping romance, and fast-paced storytelling rooted in Southern folklore. It feels as much like a front-porch jam session as it does a proper stage musical — which is exactly what makes it so fun. Perfect for a date night or a family outing.

ATX TV Festival All weekend | Times vary
For the TV lovers in the room — and Austin has plenty of them — the ATX TV Festival is one of those only-in-Austin experiences that's genuinely worth your time. It brings together fans and industry insiders to celebrate the shows we love, with deep-dive panels on how your favorites get made, chances to revisit past classics, and plenty of opportunities to discover something new. They call it "TV Camp for Grown Ups" and honestly, that's exactly what it is.

Austin Sol Pro Ultimate - Home Game This Weekend
If you've never watched professional ultimate frisbee, this might be the weekend to change that. The Austin Sol is our local pro team in the American Ultimate Disc League, and their home games are a genuinely fun outing - great athletes, fast-paced play, and a crowd that's as welcoming as Austin itself. A perfect casual option if you want to be outside and catch some live sport without the stadium price tag.
