You don’t want to miss this event! This is one of the classic Austin summer events and they only have four a year! Bring a blanket to sit on and come enjoy live local music and food from all around Austin. Parking will be tricky so we recommend either ubering or parking at my parents Airbnb and walking the 30 minutes it takes to get to Zilker. (2209 Matterhorn Ln, Austin, TX 78704). We also recommend you get there early to get a good spot.

Cathedral of Junk

11:00 am

This is another truly unique Austin experience! It was started in 1988 by Vince Hannemann and has grown over the years through donations from people around both the city and the world. Nowadays, it contains over 60 tons of junk. A number of years ago the city of Austin, Texas, tried to shut it down, saying it was too much junk and a safety concern. (The neighbors thought it was an eyesore.) So Vince and an army of volunteers pared down the structure and brought it up to code so the site could stay open! It is definitely doing its part to "Keep Austin Weird." $5 donation per adult, and please park directly in front of his house. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/7816 Directions: On the south side of town. US 81/290 to the Hwy 71 (Ben White Blvd E.) exit. Hwy 71 west to the Congress Ave. exit. Head south a couple of blocks, turn right on St. Elmo Rd W., then take the second left onto Lareina.
