In Central Texas, we do love to party.  Some times of year (this is one of them), you can hardly throw a rock without hitting a festival of some sort or another.  For example, this week/weekend: 

From March 28-April 1, the Texas Wine and Food Festival has its 22nd annual event - over 100 restaurants and 60 wineries participate.  This one, I AM going to - I've been invited to join the Cedar Park Wineaux in attending the final event of the week, on Sunday, a big food and wine "do" in San Gabriel Park here in Georgetown, complete with (what else?) BBQ and other beef treats, culinary stages, wine seminars, and more. 

On Saturday is another one of my favorite events, the Swamp Romp.  Yep, I said Swamp  Romp.  Well, it's official name is the Louisiana Swamp Thing and Crawfish Festival, but I've always known it as the Swamp Romp every since attendingn the original, which was held on 6th Street in downtown Austin (the original of a lot of things are held on 6th Street, it seems).  Food, music, entertainment, face painting, a great family-friendly event with all the enthusiasm you'd expect of something called a Swamp Romp.  Just look at the food list! 

Then, there's the 50th Annual Zilker Garden Festival held at Zilker Gardens.  Plants, vendors, the Taniguchi Oriental Garden and Tea House (built by 70-year-old Isamu Taniguchi), and, surprise, surprise, food (oh, wow, Evita's Botanitas is going to be there!) and music. 

Also this week, there's the 6th Annual Lone Star Rod and Kustom Round Up with hot rods and, yeah, food and music. 

There's lots more going on; as you can see, we have something for just about everyone, as long as they like food and music!  Come on down and have some fun!
