Labor Day weekend marks one of the final celebrations of summer, and Austin offers plenty of ways to fill those extra days. Residents at Aura High Pointe Apartments can build a weekend around lake time, local dining, live entertainment, or a relaxing afternoon close to home.
If your ideal long weekend starts outdoors, Lake Travis is an easy choice. Head out early for kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, or a few quiet hours along the water. Lake Travis also has several waterfront dining destinations, so you can transition from an afternoon outside to dinner with a view. Labor Day weekend can be busy around the lake, so reservations and advance rental bookings are a smart idea.
For a day filled with shopping, dining, and entertainment, make plans for The Domain. Browse stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Apple, and lululemon before stopping for a meal. North Italia is a great choice for pasta and modern Italian favorites, while Culinary Dropout brings casual dishes, cocktails, and a lively social setting. Staying into the evening gives you plenty of opportunities to explore the area's nightlife and entertainment.
Looking for something more active? Topgolf Austin makes it easy to turn a few free hours into a friendly competition. Climate-controlled hitting bays help keep things comfortable during the late-summer heat, and you can order food and drinks without interrupting the game. No serious golf skills are required, which makes it an easy addition to a group outing.
Of course, a long weekend does not need to be packed from morning to night. Residents can also spend part of the holiday enjoying Aura High Pointe's resort-style pool, sky lounge, fitness spaces, and community areas. A poolside afternoon followed by a relaxed evening at home can be just as rewarding as a full day exploring Austin.
With three days to work with, Labor Day weekend is the perfect chance to enjoy the final stretch of summer at your own pace.
