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 Wiz and George Strait led this mid-May roundup. Vintage shopping and a Driftwood community festival offered daytime alternatives, with a margarita tasting competition also included on Sunday.
The weekend’s events
Broadway in Austin presents The Wiz
Original schedule: All weekend long | 7:30 PM
Broadway in Austin’s The Wiz was the musical-theater selection. The original issue highlighted familiar songs from the show, including Ease on Down the Road and Home.
George Strait in Concert
Original schedule: Friday, May 15th & Saturday, May 16th | 7:30 PM
George Strait’s Friday and Saturday appearances were the country-music picks. The newsletter named Carter Faith alongside Strait in its concert description.
5th Street Vintage Market
Original schedule: Saturday, May 16th | 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
The 5th Street Vintage Market at the Austin Visitor Center paired vendor browsing with coffee and matcha from 5th & Brew. A live DJ was part of the original Saturday listing.
5th Annual Driftwood Heritage Festival
Original schedule: Sunday, May 17th | 11:00 AM
The Driftwood Heritage Festival selection described music, children’s activities, an artisan market, and food and drinks from Vista Brewing. Another supplied edition lists this festival in April, so the historical date needs reconciliation.
The Austin Margarita Festival
Original schedule: Sunday, May 17th | 12:00 PM
The Austin Margarita Festival was presented as a tasting competition with attendee voting. The original selection focused on comparing entries, rather than a conventional concert or market format.
