Father’s Day is this Sunday and if you’re still trying to figure out how to celebrate the father in your life, we’ve got you covered! Here’s your guide to Father’s Day in Austin this year:
Go to a Barbecue Competition
Pitmasters from Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma will compete in a barbecue contest at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, 8212 Barton Club Dr., on Saturday. The competition starts at 5:30 p.m. and includes tastings, drinks, live music, and fireworks. Tickets are $179 for adults.
Laugh It Up
Tickets to comedian Nate Bargatze’s two Saturday shows at the Moody Center, 2001 Robert Dedman Dr., are still available.
