Books and Bees Festival

Sure, the good people of Bee Cave are big fans of bees – it’s right there in their name – but less famously, they are expert multitaskers, which is how they’ve come up with a festival that gathers apiarians and bibliophiles both. This literary and nature fest will feature author conversations, kids storytimes, music from Hot Toast Music Co., tables on beekeeping and stargazing, and more. Looking for something more adult? Friday’s ticketed kickoff event promises an intimate conversation between Elizabeth Crook (The Madstone) and Wendi Aarons (I’m Wearing Tunics Now). – Kimberley Jones
