Culture

Austin doesn’t get many winter storms, but when we do, the whole city acts like someone unplugged the world. Roads close, schools shut down, and suddenly every kid in town is stuck inside staring out the window like, “Is this… snow? Ice? Magic?”

And with friends scattered across town,  kids still want to play — even if no one can leave the house.

Below are fun, silly ways they can stay connected from home while Austin waits for the thaw.

Just in time for spring break travel planning, San Antonio is bringing a taste of its rich and colorful culture to the capital city. Artists, dancers,  musicians and family attractions from the Alamo City will be at Barton Creek Square  on February 23 and 24 to give Austinites a preview of the vibrant and diverse San Antonio. 

Families are invited to join representatives from San Antonio’s most popular attractions and museums to learn about all the new and exciting developments in the city.
