Here’s what’s happening in Austin.

We know we’re in the midst of the hottest month of the year here in Austin, and you may be thinking about how nice the AC is at home. But before you know it, fall will be here and you’ll be missing the pool days and popsicles. So, let’s soak in the last bit of summer, beginning with the latest headlines and happenings in the ATX health and fitness scene.

🌿 A Plant-based Partnership
Rachel Musquiz, the visionary behind healthy food truck Curcuma, recently announced an exciting new collaboration! Now, when you stop by any Snap Kitchen location, you can pick up a grab-and-go version of her plant-based and ayurvedic recipes normally only available at Curcuma. They’re currently stocking the Kitchari Bowl and the Pecan Taco Salad, so get there ASAP!

🎧 Meditation And Movement
MindTravel, a passion project of composer and musician Murray Hidary, is coming to Austin for the first time with exciting two events! On August 12, they’ll be hosting a SilentWalk followed by a SilentPaddle on August 13. These aren’t your ordinary weekend excursions, though — think silent disco meets immersive meditation meets your weekend paddle (or stroll) around Lady Bird Lake. Just reserve your spot, show up at the designated starting point, don your headphones (provided), and get ready for an immersive, magical experience.

🍽 In Other News
The oldest BBQ joint in Texas is opening up its first location in Austin! Elgin’s Southside Market & Barbeque has been serving up flavor since 1882, and now, they’ve applied for a beer and wine retailers permit for a location in the Arbor Walk. While the timeframe is TBD, we’re already drooling over menu items like Smoked Chicken Salad and Chopped Brisket Baked Potato. And if you can’t wait, you can order their meats, spices, and sauces typically featured in the market online.
