Weekend Watch: Food, wine, and Day of the Dead celebrations
AUSTIN (KXAN) — This weekend we plan to see some rainfall continue but that should not stop you from enjoying all of Austin's weekend events.
The rain chances will stay until just after Halloween, but that doesn't mean you should stay indoors. With a front flying through and clouds sticking around, this weekend should be nice, even with the threat of a few showers off and on. Temperatures are expected to remain in the low 80s, so put on some shoes and let's get outside.
Día on DIA
Kicking off Día de los Muertos this year is Día on DIA, a FREE event taking place on Friday, Nov. 1. It will be a day to celebrate the Day of Inclusion Awareness (DIA) on Día de los Muertos (Día). This will be at Pershing Hall.
