Do Not Disturb Presents: Black Coffee

A Saturday morning coffee & chill session doesn’t get much better – except when there’s also world-class queer Black DJs spinning ’til the afternoon. Local mix masters Do Not Disturb Collective – aka Jasmin Porter and Sonder – take over the Manor locale of this Austin coffeehouse to play the perfect weekend-starter tunes. There’ll also be a boozy brunchy cocktail menu, curated with picks from Pangea Selections, as well as free coffee for the first 10 guests. Secure your sip with the magic phrase: “One cup of DND, please!” – James Scott

Fables From the Farm: "Reviving Reverence"

On paper, Fables From the Farm started in 2023 as a combination of performance art, dinner theatre, and farm-y flamboyance – which returns this weekend, April 18-20, with a new story called “Reviving Reverence.” Yet, the real start treks back several years to when co-creator Jade Fusco still studio’d at Museum of Human Achievement – just down Springdale from debut and upcoming Fables venue, Boggy Creek Farm.: “When I would take walks I would often stop into Boggy Creek just to sit under those pecan trees and marvel at the lush, fertile grounds teeming with life and fruits and vegetables,” Fusco reminisces over email. “[It] felt like this secret oasis in the middle of the city. I always thought to myself, 'We should DO some kind of SHOW here one day. People need to experience the healing magic of this place.’”: Interested guests should know, Fusco says, that “this is a rigorous experience!” Her advice for this mobile musical – as guests walk all over Boggy Creek along with the performers – is to wear comfy shoes, bring a water bottle, and let yourself participate in the Earth-loving spirit. “The more you give yourself to the experience,” Fusco says, “the more it’ll give back.” – James Scott

Green Acres Hop Fest & Springtime Art Market

Art thou feeling it now, Mr. Krabs – I mean, Chronicle reader? Those first sunny spring days have shown their cloudless faces, and now the Hill Country calls for us to all go drink sour beers among goats. Such is the reason for this Jester King season, where the massive brewery complex unfurls not only a psych-sational music lineup featuring tribute bands aplenty but also an art market with more than 60 creators; guest taps from Brujos Brewing, Cellar Maker, Rustic Ales, and more; on-site terp tipples by Tejas Tonic; and Jester King Kitchen’s usual gustatory goods, aka pizza and smashburgers. Not enough for ye? Try these offerings on: a balloon artist, face-painting, glass blowing, tours of the grounds, live tattooing, pottery making, screenprinting, a bonfire, tie-dye, and goats in tie-dye. Then gather round for the day-capper screening of Dazed and Confused from Rocket Cinema. – James Scott
