July 3, 2026 edition
This is an archive of the original Weekender selections for the dates above. Schedules and property details describe that edition, not current events or availability.
The Independence Day issue included small creative gatherings as well as a holiday roundup. Sunday shifted toward a wellness event and a classic animated film, giving the weekend a quieter finish.
The weekend’s events
Coffee & Art Dates
Original schedule: Friday, July 3rd | 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Coffee & Art Dates was a morning gathering for drawing, journaling, and other creative work. The original selection emphasized making time for a project and sharing the session with others.
Mosaics & Mocktails
Original schedule: Friday, July 3rd | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Mosaics & Mocktails paired making a mosaic coaster with alcohol-free drinks from Altar Native Bar. The workshop offered a defined project that participants could work through during the evening session.
Celebrate The 4th of July in Austin
Original schedule: Saturday, July 4th | All day
The Fourth of July selection pointed readers to a wider Austin and Hill Country holiday guide. It was a roundup of options, not a single event with one location or admission policy.
Wellness Palooza
Original schedule: Sunday, July 5th | 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Wellness Palooza at Camp East brought yoga and a cold plunge together with a vendor market. Food, drinks, and other offerings were listed separately in the newsletter’s description of the gathering.
Paramount Summer Classic Film Series
Original schedule: Sunday, July 5th | 3:30 PM
The film-series selection highlighted Beauty and the Beast. The newsletter noted alternate screening venues during work at the Paramount, so the series name alone should not be treated as confirmation of the screening location.
