    Texas Woodworking Festival

    An event best described as a mix of a beer festival and a woodworking-themed farmers' market, it brings together local woodworking organizations, content creators, furniture makers, and tool manufacturers for a day of food, drinks, and all things woodworking. But it has a higher purpose: It's produced by the Austin School of Furniture & Design, and profits and donations from this event help the school offer classes to the next generation of woodworkers and furniture makers.
    Sat., Sept. 4, 11am-5pm. $30 suggested donation.
