Lone Star Le Mans
The FIA World Endurance Championship returns to COTA for the first time since 2020. This round, the lone stateside affair in 2024, runs for six hours on Sunday after qualifying takes place on Saturday. WEC races feature two distinct classes of cars, with sports prototypes making up the high-octane Hypercar class and souped-up vehicles closer resembling what you’d see on the road contesting LMGT3. Toyota has won the past three Hypercar manufacturers’ championships, but Porsche is slightly ahead in the current standings with only three rounds remaining. Three-day, general admission tickets are just $69. – Derek UdensiAug. 30-Sept. 1 -

Austin Cactus & Succulent Society 2024 Fall Show
They say cactus and succulents are the hardest plants to kill. Well, “they” haven’t met my intensely black thumb. But even avowed plant-murderers like myself can enjoy the beauty in these spiky survivalist seedlings. And luckily, Austin Cactus & Succulent Society has all the tips and tricks to help turn the most cursed gardener into Mother Nature herself. At their Fall Show there will be heaps of advice for cultivation, along with gorgeous specimens and handcrafted pottery for sale. Short on funds? Try your hand at the hourly raffles for plant prizes. Admission also comes with entrance into the Zilker Botanical Garden, so make a horticultural holiday out of this annual event. – Cat McCarreyAug. 31-Sept. 1 -

Austin Lowriding Car Show & Culture Festival
My secret shame? I can’t hear the words “low rider” without the sax/harmonica riff from War’s hit song reverberating through my mind. Sorry-not-sorry if that’s stuck in your head now, too. But you have to admit, it’s a pretty good soundtrack for an event spotlighting the magnificent machines in Austin – which, by the way, is known as the “Lowriding Capital of the World.” Come gaze upon these beauties, all shiny and chrome. Connect with the vibrant community who keeps the car low, slow, and bumping supremely sick tunes. It’s more than a motor: It’s a celebration of lifestyle, culture, and the art of the auto.– Cat McCarreySun., Sept. 1 -

Fae Ball Austin
There’s increasingly popular all the time fairy smut, and then there’s fairy strutting your stuff at a Fae Ball. For fellow fans of Sarah J. Maas’ massive Maasiverse and the like, this ball offers a taste of your bookish daydreams in the waking world. Attendees are to dress in their high fantasy best, and partake in High Tea and supper alongside romantasy authors including Amber V. Nicole (The Book of Azrael), Tracy Wolff (Crave), and Hannah Nicole Maehrer (Assistant to the Villain). Over the weekend, there will be discussion of romance tropes, karaoke, fantasy trivia, and many hours of dancing. – Maggie QuinlanAug. 30-Sept. 1
