Trail Foundation Invites Austin Residents To Free Party Saturday

EAST AUSTIN, TX — Officials invite the public to help celebrate The Trail Foundation's 15th birthday party this Saturday.

Free and open to the public at Festival Beach, the family-friendly event will include all the necessary ingredients to celebrate in style at a good party: live music, yoga sessions, birthday cake, refreshments, a petting zoo and much more. Austin's own Mr. Will will provide live music and a festive march led by the Eastside Memorial Panther Drumline will be showcased.

In addition to the Tiny Trails petting zoo, activities for the kiddos will include soap bubbles and wildflower seed ball crafts. "Grab a picnic blanket and some friends or family members, and join us at Festival Beach along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail for this special community-wide party," organizers wrote in an advisory.

Attendees can bring their dogs along, so long as they are kept on their leashes. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The reason for this city celebration is the recent announcement by The Trail Foundation of 15 new projects to be completed on the trail over the next five years. TTF will also host three public 15th anniversary events to celebrate the occasion throughout the year.

The April 7 Birthday Party serves as The Trail Foundation’s inaugural 15th anniversary event, followed by the Maudie’s Moonlight Margarita Run and Party on June 7, and Twilight on the Trail on Oct. 28, officials noted.
