1. Texas State Fair
Every year, there is a different theme for Texas's celebrated state fair. Since the first fair in 1886, the event has drawn the state together at Fair Park, a National Historic Landmark. Over 24 days, representatives from nearly every discipline are represented. Attractions include the appearance of Big Tex, the fair's blimp-like mascot; a heated college football tournament; and a BMX bike show.

2. Luckenbach Family Picnic
Bring the family to this exciting outdoor festival, which was originally hosted by renowned country music singer Willie Nelson. Dating back to 1972, the event is ideal for young cowboys and girls, as it is set on a ranch and features leading local and international country music stars.

3. Austin Ice Cream Festival
Many argue that this is the sweetest part of Texan summers. Your whole family (including pets) is invited to the festival of frozen yogurt and indulgent iced treats made following traditions that hail from near and far. It's the most delicious way to cool down in summertime's sticky heat. Look out over Lady Bird Lake and enjoy the shaded spots in Fiesta Gardens.
