Thank the Congress Avenue Bridge bats

Join a drum circle at Eeyore’s birthday party

An Austin tradition that started out as an outing with a UT English professor and his class in 1963, Eeyore’s birthday party is a festival (the last weekend of April) that will make you think you’re in another world. Drum circles abound and there’s usually a live donkey roaming around. Clothing is also optional here as well.
