Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Christina Spaeth and Michael Leiva
Austin holds such a special place in our hearts - from the live music and incredible food scene to the sunny skies, scenic views, and the warm, welcoming spirit that makes it feel like home. If you're staying at the Fairmont, don't miss the resort-style rooftop pool. Speaking of which, come prepared for warm weather and don't underestimate the Texas sun. Sunscreen is a must! We've rounded up some of our favorite restaurants and things to do below. One heads up: Labor Day Weekend tends to draw a crowd, so reservations are highly recommended for dining.

The Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake

1820 South Lakeshore Boulevard, Austin, TX 78741
