Trader Joe's Is Finally Open

Plus tons of Halloween Events and your favorite coffee shop

Today’s current water level: 81.5%

Shorter Days, Sweeter Nights. The temps have cooled just enough to notice as the light slips away a little sooner each night. With the time change around the corner, the evenings feel borrowed, softer, fleeting.

Then of course there’s Halloween - part excitement, part pure sugar. Soon, Bee Cave streets will be packed with tiny superheroes, Lakeway golf carts will hum through the dark, and Lago Vista porches will glow like lanterns across the hills.

But before the clocks fall back and the costumes come out, there’s still time to enjoy this last golden weekend. Here’s what’s happening around the lake before the season turns.
