Greater Austin Clay Studio Tour
You wanna get your hands into some slip? Spin that sexy ceramic wheel? Buy a cool bowl? Y’all gotta get on that studio tour trail, created and hosted by informal ceramic network Greater Austin Clay Artists. Over 20 different studios and artists will have their doors wide open for folks to wander into – showcasing the clay crafting they’re up to all year round. Each stop boasts their own special workshops and events to take part in, from Katie Ann Clay & Guests’ daily chai and treats to the newly opened Ceramigos offering hand-building ceramic activities all-day along with coffee & donuts, Agent Cooper-style. To see more events taking place over Saturday and Sunday, as well as the accessibility of each stop, check out austinclay.org/studiotour. And remember: No Ghost-ing! You know what I mean. – James ScottApril 5-6Multiple locations -

The Statesman Cap10K
As I stated to my co-workers over Zoom on Monday, despite being actively a non-runner, my ass continues to write up Austin’s many running events. I swear: We DO actually have jog-hogs on staff, but they’re just busy doing other work like, I don’t know, running our News coverage. Anyway. Brought to you by Baylor, Scott & White Health is the oldest annual race in town, which’ll be kicking off its 48th run around Downtown Austin this Sunday. There’s several categories to enter based on participant age, so babies won’t compete against geriatric joggers. To join up if you haven’t already, register at cap10k.com, or if you just wanna watch ’em sweat and strut, park yourself behind the barriers. Everyone else? Just stay home, dude. – James ScottSun., April 6

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 -

Sherwood Forest Faire
Just an hour east of our fair town is a faire towne of a different sort: an enclave of wonderment that invites you to get in on the fun. The sheer number of entertainment options are staggering with acrobatics, comedy, magic, juggling, theatre, song, dance, and more – both onstage and roaming among the attendees. Costumes are encouraged, and the wooded environment will help you get into character, be it a knight, fairy, wench, jester, or a creation of your own imagination. If things get too fantastical for you, take a break with the myriad food and shopping options before embarking on the next adventure. – James RenovitchWeekends through April 20 -
