Austin Pride: Silence = Death
2025’s been a tough year for the LGBTQ crew, especially in Texas’ crimson conservative vortex around our capital blueberry. So Austin Pride resolves that this year’s parade and festival will have the city’s queers “take to the streets – not just to celebrate, but to demand, to resist, and to fight for our future.” But don’t sweat out your sparkles, girl: There’ll still be parties, performances, and pallin’ around with your fellow queer Austinites. Just remember to wear sunscreen, okay?Sat., Aug. 23 -

Austin’s Archives & You: Preserving City & Community Histories
No matter when you got here, you were too late, as Austinites love to say. It was always cooler 10 years ago. Fortunately, we’ve got the Austin History Center so we can catch up on what we missed and preserve our memories as they happen so we can show newbies what they missed. Learn more about the center’s work at a session with activities to help them decide the direction of future programs, exhibits, and spaces. A survey from the Austin History Center asks the community for feedback on the plans, and your reward for in-person completion will be a free coffee mug or historic map as well as light refreshments. Find the survey at publicinput.com/ahc through July 13 if you can’t make it. – Kat McNevinsSat., May 31 -

“ECHOES ATX”: The Past, Present, and Future of Black & Brown Austin
Austin wasn’t just grown from the fruits of Willie Nelson and the Texas Longhorns. Like many metropolitan areas, it had a thriving scene of diverse voices that fed this city’s very roots. Those voices were here, and they’re still here, contributing to everything that makes Austin special. Celebrate them with a two-week extravaganza acknowledging Austin’s rich history and bright future through art, music, and conversation. Curated by photographer Jay Ybarra and sociology scholar Shania Montúfar, “ECHOES” reflects their vibrant views of Austin’s grassroots community creators. Join the opening celebration this Saturday with DJ sets, art workshops, and artistic pieces that beg to be experienced firsthand. It all runs for the next two weeks. – Cat McCarreyThrough June 6Color Cartel, 4303 Willow Springs Rd. -

Nakia & the Never Not Now (performance & record signing)
Earlier this month, when Shinyribs serenaded Waterloo Records, emotions ran heavy in the knowledge of the group’s final live appearance at that location. Expect no less from Nakia. A semifinalist on The Voice and perennial Austin City Limits television show attendee, the South Austin soul man runs deep through the local scene lore. No surprise, then, that his swan song at Sixth and Lamar – Waterloo will relocate several blocks north this summer – services one of his finest recorded moments. Signal, inspired by Eighties synthpop, pulses his rich and deepening croon atop a lithe bed of electro delectables for maybe the best fit in decades, as aided by new band the Never Not Now. – Raoul HernandezFri., May 30, 5pm -

Spring Tree ID Walk
Does the legend of Austin’s 600-year-old Treaty Oak ring a bell? If not, your vaguely granola Austin parents might have failed you. But don’t fret – there’s plenty more Texas tree facts and fiction to go around, thanks in part to Texas A&M’s very own tree-identifying portal, a site I discovered this past semester while conducting research in an ecology seminar. Whether you’re a tree hugger, tree neophyte, or like me, a part-time cohort of copses, joining arborist Keith Babberney will help anyone interested identify the Austin oaks that have seen – and survived – the city’s manifold eras. – Levi LangleySat., May 31 -
