Looking to do some good for others, citizen? Wish you had more to give than you do? This is the day in which AmplifyATX.org, the online platform that makes it easy to donate to local nonprofits, supercharges their philanthropic site with special matches that will amplify the value of your gift. Amplify Austin Day is the biggest day of giving in Central Texas, raising $102.7 million for the local community since 2013, and this year you can be part of the seven-county crowd spreading funds (and, consequently, joy) across our river city. – Wayne Alan Brenner

To that end, this SXSW amuse bouche gathers educators, experts, and others to share the latest innovations to help make teaching the life-changing art form it can be. Get on board for conference sessions, film screenings, competitions, and some world-class networking. Take what you learn and share it with the world. It truly is the greatest love of all. – James Renovitch

Which indie rock band sings this soundtrack song? How did Taylor Lautner get away with playing a Native American for so long? Host the Brewtorium offers a themed menu, and costumes are encouraged. Say it out loud: You know you want to go. – Carys Anderson
