HO, HO, HO—SANTA’S COMING TO MUSIC LANE! 🎅
The holiday magic is here, and you’re invited to Santa Saturdays at Music Lane! Join us on December 7th and 14th from 12–3 PM at the Music Lane Plaza. Bring your family or friends to snap photos with Santa, write letters to Santa, enjoy hot chocolate from @twohandsrestaurant, and participate in other festive activities!
We’re also spreading some holiday cheer by teaming up with The Salvation Army to support our community! Stop by their booth to make a donation and enter our raffle for a chance to win a $175 gift card to @abarestaurant. (One lucky winner will be contacted on Monday, 12/16)
P.S. Keep an eye out for Music Lane’s mischievous elf, Lane! 🍭 He’s been exploring Music Lane and will be hiding somewhere during both Santa Saturdays, waiting to see if he gets spotted! If you manage to find him, post a photo to your IG story and tag @musiclaneaustin—we’ll be picking 5 lucky winners who spot Candy Lane to win some fun Music Lane goodies!
Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable. See you at Music Lane! 🎄✨

☃️ Frosty Fun Fest at @sciencemilltx is this Saturday, January 18 from 10am-2pm!
Science Mill is a kids’ science museum in Johnson City filled with indoor and outdoor hands-on and interactive exhibits.

Kids of all ages like snow though! 😉

⏰ 10am-2pm
🎟️ $10-12
📍 101 South Lady Bird Lane, Johnson City

🌳 HIKE + FOOD PAIRING 🇬🇷
I love combining our outings like this! Hiking and eating are 2 of my favorites.
📍 Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park, 12138 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
🥾 We did the short loop trail. We started at the playground and the trail was 1.25 miles long. It took us about an hour.
🛝 We also stayed and played at the playground both before and after the hike.
🇬🇷 @santorinicafe.atx is one of our favorite Greek restaurants! It’s 2 minutes from Walnut Creek and they have a cute dog/kid friendly patio with toys for the kids (mostly broken but my kids didn’t care). We love their authentic Greek food!
📍 11800 N Lamar Blvd, Austin
