• Georgetown considers pilot program for downtown sidewalk cafés, street patios (kxan.com) — Downtown Georgetown businesses may soon be able to expand outdoor seating onto sidewalks and some parking spaces under a proposed city pilot program. City council members support more outdoor dining but want revisions addressing lost parking and permit fees before voting, so residents could see changes to downtown streetscapes and parking availability if it moves forward. 
• Fall Festivals Austin Preview 2026: Best Autumn Events Around Austin (austinot.com) — Sweet Eats Fruit Farm in Georgetown is gearing up for daily fall fun with a huge corn maze, pumpkin patch, and family activities running through the season, just a short drive for local residents. The guide also spotlights Oktoberfests, pumpkin fests, and harvest fairs across the Austin area and Hill Country, helping you plan autumn weekends close to home.
• For these Venezuelans living in the US, June's earthquakes still reverberate across daily life (mercurynews.com) — A Georgetown ER nurse is turning her home into a staging area for medical supplies headed to Venezuelan earthquake survivors, packing boxes between night shifts and using social media to rally donations. Her efforts, along with those of other Venezuelans across the U.S., show how the diaspora is coping with grief, immigration uncertainty, and a desire to help from afar.
