Your Guide to July 2025 in Austin
The heat dome is here, and we hope your AC is working. Luckily for you, there are a bazillion things to do indoors this July, and we’ve got you covered right here. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec and Stephanie Brown, an account executive at Giant Noise, to share their best tips and recommendations for what to eat in Austin this month, what to do right here in town (pop-up pirate bar, anyone?), and our favorite day-trips, for Austinites who need a break. And, as we promised, here are some links to previous episodes and Hey Austin coverage we mentioned in the episode: Where to celebrate the Fourth of July in Austin; how to have the best staycation in Austin ever; and our favorite summer snacks.
