    Pecan Street Festival

    Did you know the streets Downtown were once all named for trees and rivers? The river names stuck, but eventually they started calling the tree names by numbers in the 1800s – the most famous being Downtown destination Sixth Street, aka Pecan. Celebrate its heritage at this twice-annual street fair designed to showcase local talent and generate proceeds to benefit historic preservation. Stroll along Sixth to shop wares from over 300 artisans, feast on concessions like turkey legs and elotes, and hear music from 30 artists on stages headlined by Lena Luca Friday and the Tiarras Saturday. – Kat McNevins

      Doc Days 2024

      The first night of the annual documentary mini-festival happens to coincide with International Workers Day, and so the programming begins with Union, Martin Dicicco’s reporting on the rise of the Amazon Labor Union. The long weekend’s lineup also features unusual detective work in Seeking Mavis Bacon, musical mayhem in Devo, and comedic innovation in Thank You Very Much, the new biography of Andy Kaufman. Look for several familiar names from the Austin film scene with the local premiere of Time Passages, the newest film from Kyle Henry (Fourplay), edited by Karen Skloss (The Honor Farm) and produced by Jason Wehling (Saturday Morning Massacre). – Richard Whittaker

      A Blasphemous Unbaptism

      I can already hear my Catholic mom’s reaction to me writing about this event: “How awful, James! Don’t you care about these folks’ immortal souls?” But here’s the thing: I do care about y’all’s souls and your ownership over them. As the event copy for this joint venture from the Glass Coffin and Austin’s local Satanic Temple chapter encourages, here’s a chance to “claim yourself as your master and shed your bonds of abusive and false religions and dogmas!” No cost to be unbaptized but donations to everyone’s favorite ATX vampire parlour are appreciated – as is your patronage of the simultaneous goth swap and flea market. You can buy a certificate to make the whole biz official; those proceeds also benefit the Glass Coffin as it winds down its days on the I-35 frontage road. – James Scott

      Austin Record Convention

      Tell me you didn’t blow ALL your spring savings on Record Store Day, because the Austin Record Convention makes the music industry gouge/record store lifeline feel like a kiddie B-day. Some 300 dealers erecting micro-storefronts on 40,000 square feet of a prime local ballroom approximates the Aztecs’ lost city of gold, El Dorado. More new and used and vintage vinyl in one spot than you’ll glimpse anywhere else on the globe – not to mention CDs, cassettes, posters, T-shirts, and any other music-related pop culture delivery format – rise from tables, booths, and floor boxes like the treasures of Tutankhamun. A $30 early shopper ticket buys a whole extra day Friday, plus early admission Sat.-Sun. – Raoul Hernandez

      Cinco de Mayo Drag Show Celebration

      Some 162 years ago, Mexico defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5. Today, while often misattributed as Mexican Independence Day – which is in September, btw – Cinco de Mayo makes for a perfect time to celebrate Mexican culture and history. Get in on the action in the gayest way possible with Eva Inez, champ of local drag competition Grackle Games’ third cycle. Her hosting skills have been honed to precision through stints at both Little Drinks Lounge and Oilcan Harry’s by leading queer & trans BIPOC-focused shows. If anyone can lead y’all to party victory, it’s Miss Inez. – James Scott

      (1988)

      Kicking off their summer-spanning genre series at Second Street cineplex Violet Crown, local movie mavens Hyperreal Film Club and programmer Morgan Hyde drop a real deep cut. Don’t Panic represents a Mexican spin on the Freddy Krueger craze: 17-year-old Michael gets a birthday-gift Ouija board that unlocks an evil spirit known as Virgil, after which Michael begins to receive premonitions of murders – murders he ends up the chief suspect of! The movie’s tagline ordered audiences to “Forget Freddie and Jason. Virgil’s the newest nightmare in town.” You’ll have to judge for yourself if that confidence is earned. – James Scott

      Fake Cake Picture Frames Workshop

      Here’s a gift for Mom that looks so good, she could eat it – but she shouldn’t, because its covered in spackle. Cake Shack Co. owner Sarah Sparkman leads this hands-on workshop where you’ll make a fake-cake frame perfect for a 4x6 photo of you and your mama. Add rosettes; dust it in glitter; make it neon pink: This confectionary craft works for all skill levels. Just make sure this faux-frosted frame isn’t too realistic. Don’t want Mom to lose a tooth chomping on your beautiful creation. – James Scott

      Road to Leadville 100: Sí Se Puede

      We always thought a marathon was the ultimate running challenge, but someone decided that wasn’t enough and created the Leadville Trail 100, an astonishing 100-mile ultra-marathon that is seemingly impossible due to its elevation and rough terrain. Now’s your chance to meet and be inspired by someone who actually finished it, Daniel Flores, who’ll be present for a bilingual talk after a screening of the documentary about his journey to accomplishing this remarkable feat, along with doc director Ramon Morales. – Kat McNevins

      Toast of Texas

      Why raise a glass when you can raise 25 instead? That’s how many Texas wineries will be pouring samples from their latest releases at this Wine & Food Foundation afternoon event at Springdale Station, a location that is both very cool (former train station) and offers just a luxurious amount of parking. The tickets are steep ($110) – less so if you become a WFF member ($90) – and include barbecue, paella, a silent auction, and something called a wine toss, which sounds dangerous but is probably just a ring toss onto wine bottles? Only one way to find out. – Kimberley Jones

      A Year With Frog and Toad

      For generations of children, Arnold Lobel’s stories of amphibian best buds Frog and Toad have been a charming guide to the complexities and joys of friendship. Now the pair take to the stage for this delightful Tony-nominated musical. It’s truly a family affair, adapted by Lobel’s son-in-law Mark Linn-Baker with music by Robert Reale and book & lyrics by his brother, Willie. This new production, directed by Best of Austin winner Sara Burke, features Jillian Sainz and Victoria Brown donning the signature jackets and trousers of Frog and Toad, respectively. – Richard Whittaker

      AJW Youth Jam at Batch

      Here in the Live Music Capital of the World, there should be no shortage of opportunities for kids to develop their tuneful talents and pursue rockstar dreams. Austin Jazz Workshop’s jam series is one of these opportunities, with twice-monthly jams led by Gil Del Bosque just for middle- and high school students to get a feel for a real gig setting. Thanks to a financial boost from the city’s Cultural Arts Division, jams are scheduled through August: first Sundays at Batch, last Sundays at Central Market South, both at noon. – Kat McNevins

There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott

It’s also open Memorial Day, for any last-minute Memorial Day gifts! – Kat McNevins
