May 8, 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.
Mother’s Day weekend’s issue mixed a community film screening with markets and music. The Fredericksburg restaurant series extended the roundup into the Hill Country, while a separate guide gathered holiday ideas.
The weekend’s events
Community Cinema: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Original schedule: Friday, May 8th | 7:30 PM
Community Cinema’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens screening was listed at Community First! Village. The original description distinguished movie attendance from food and drink purchases.
Fredericksburg Food & Wine Festival
Original schedule: Friday, May 8th & Saturday, May 9th | 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The Fredericksburg Food & Wine selection described a restaurant series with special menus and chef collaborations. These were dining events around Fredericksburg, so the series title should not imply one festival site.
Spring Pecan Street Festival
Original schedule: Saturday, May 9th & Sunday, May 10th | Times vary
Spring Pecan Street Festival was included for handmade work across materials such as wood, clay, glass, and fiber. The original listing identified Hill Country Galleria; that venue and the supplied dates need to stay attached to this edition’s source record.
Celebrate Mother’s Day in Austin
Original schedule: Sunday, May 10th | All day
The Mother’s Day selection was a guide to several kinds of outings. Brunches, a retreat, grilling classes, and cocktail classes were among the options described, each with its own arrangements.
Romeo Santos and Prince Royce in concert
Original schedule: Sunday, May 10th | 8:00 PM
Romeo Santos and Prince Royce shared the Sunday concert selection. The newsletter identified their Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour and connected it with their joint album material.
