NO CLASS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 6!
- Labor Day is on Monday, September 6th. This day, which is celebrated in Canada and the United States, is similar to International Labor Day which falls on May 1st in many countries.

Labor Day Weekend
We are celebrating the accomplishments of American workers during this long weekend. Most Americans spend the holiday with their family, eating big outdoor meals, or shopping together. I am sharing a few uniquely Austin outdoor activities y’all can do during your extra day off.
Self Guided Tour of Austin Murals
- Follow THIS GUIDE of the most famous murals in Austin.

Watch the Bats
- “North America’s largest urban bat population calls Austin home.”
- About 1.5 million bats fly out from under the bridge just after sunset.
- These Mexican Free-Tailed bats love the underside of the Congress Ave. Bridge!
- It’s a perfect bat cave, and we love our tiny winged-friends for eating pesky bugs!
