hAmaro Fest
You may be wondering, as I’m sure my editor is, if that lowercase h is a typo. Nope! Organizers of this Romani-Indian-Texan music and cultural festival spell it out on their website: “‘Hamaro’ means ‘Our’ in Hindi. ‘Amaro’ means ‘Our’ in Romani.” Together, these make the name hAmaro, aka “Our Fest.” And oh what a fest it’ll be, Chronicle reader! Saturday promises performances by Flamenco India, which celebrates the common ancient history between Spanish Romani flamenco dance and its Indian roots, a flamenco guitar solo from Jeronimo Maya, and fast-paced high-energy Romani music by Via Romen and Erika Lakatos meant for dancing the night away. Then drop in Sunday for a full schedule of music from drum circles to classical Romani music of Romania, Hungary, and Turkey, as well as various activities for kids like a Holi spring celebration of colors, Romani puppet making, flag painting, and fairy-tale storytime. There’ll even be dance and martial arts workshops to get everyone movin’ and groovin’. – James ScottApril 4-5 -

Hexes and Hounds
Cats are typically the pets associated with witches, but I’m here to represent the occult contingent more aligned with canines. This incredibly titled adoption event allows you to browse haunted artifacts, books, and oddities; receive a tarot reading; and sip on “enchanted drinks” – then come home with a dog! The San Marcos Regional Animal Center pops up at goth cafe/boutique Triple Six Social to present a bunch of pups in need of homes. I’m sure they’ll help you with a spell or two in exchange for some cuddles. – Carys AndersonFri., April 4Triple Six Social, 329 Cheatham St., San Marcos

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!
Beep beep! Make way for this vehicular bird, who springs from author Mo Willem’s Pigeon picture books onto the Zach stage for this family-friendly musical. Originally commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the production is suitable for kids 3 years old and up – so a perfect pick if you’ve got antsy toddlers yearning to dance and sing during stageplays. Plotwise, this isn’t a challenging piece: When a bus driver disembarks from their seat, a mischievous fowl takes the wheel to expectedly chaotic results. Feathers will fly, I’m told. – James ScottThrough May 18 -
