The 30th annual event – which will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 12th at Columbus Park Refectory – will include Christmas gifts for children 12 and under. Space is limited to the first 200 families; the deadline to register is Monday, Dec. 7.
While COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout the city, there are still some safe options to celebrate Halloween in Austin and the nearby suburbs. Don’t forget to wear your mask!
For many Austin residents, celebrating the Fourth of July means fireworks, lighting up the grill and time with family and friends – but it’s not a celebration of independence. That day was celebrated on June 19th.
AustinTalks wishes you and your family a safe holiday weekend. We greatly appreciate your support.
Residents will be able to drop off live holiday trees through Jan. 18th inside tree corrals set up at 25 designated Chicago Park District sites, including Garfield Park, 100 N. Central Park Ave., and Riis Park, 6201 W. Wrightwood Ave.
The event will kick off at 5 p.m. Dec. 6 at Unity Fellowship Church at the corner of Cicero and Madison, followed by the tree lighting at 6 p.m. in front of the 15th District Police station, 5701 W. Madison St. The annual parade and tree lighting is organized by the Austin Chamber of Commerce.
The Central Austin Neighborhood Association (CANA) will hold the annual holiday event at Third Unitarian Church, 301 N. Mayfield Ave., from 12 to 4 p.m. Dec. 7. There will be jewelry, artwork, fashion and beauty items, and more. Free food to those who make purchases.
