Eeyore's Birthday Party
2024-05-04 00:00 - 23:59
Eeyore’s Birthday Party certainly attracts a varied crowd. You’ve got hippies, weirdos, furries, responsible parents, dogs, and all other manners of folk attending this adored annual tradition. All-day drum circles, face painting, copious amounts of bubbles, and exotic animals are all yearly occurrences at Eeyore’s Birthday. Essentially, it’s an opportunity to hang out in the sun, (sort of) celebrate a character from Winnie the Pooh, and let your freak flag fly at full mast. To summarize, Eeyore’s Birthday is a wonderfully weird harmony of the varied people whose creative and eclectic spirits make up Austin, Texas.

Passover
2024-04-22 00:00 - 23:59
In the Bible, Passover marks the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, when God “passed over” the houses of the Israelites during the last of the ten plagues. When the Temple in Jerusalem stood, the paschal lamb was offered and eaten on Passover eve, while the wave offering of barley was offered on the second day of the festival. Nowadays, in addition to the biblical prohibition of owning leavened foods for the duration of the holiday, the Passover seder is one of the most widely observed rituals in Judaism.

Easter
2024-03-31 00:00 - 23:59
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament of the Bible, the event is said to have occurred three days after Jesus was crucified by the Romans and died in roughly 30 A.D. The holiday concludes the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent – a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice – and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles, also known as “Maundy Thursday”), Good Friday (on which Jesus’ crucifixion is observed) and Easter Sunday. Although a holiday of high religious significance in the Christian faith, many traditions associated with Easter date back to pre-Christian, pagan times.

Holi celebrates the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the blossoming of love, and for many it’s a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. The festival also celebrates the beginning of a good spring harvest season.
