Working for the Weekend: Austin FC, BBQ Austin and more

Here's a look at the events going on in Austin this weekend.

AUSTIN, Texas — The weekend is almost here, and if you’re looking for something to do in Austin, KVUE is here to help. 

Here’s a list of some fun things you can take part in:

Austin FC vs. Inter Miami

Austin FC returns to Q2 Stadium on Sunday. After a 5-0 victory against FC Cincinnati, the Verde and Black are set to take on Inter Miami. This is the first time that these two teams have faced each other. The supporter section will be displaying this season’s first tifo, which is a large art piece created by the supporters that displays for only a brief time after the National Anthem and before the game starts. Sunday’s game will be at 3 p.m.

BBQ Austin

This event is ahead of Rodeo Austin. Teams from all over Texas come to compete at BBQ Austin, and yes, you get to walk around and try their recipes. It’s not just eating at this event though. There’s also live music, a petting zoo, pony rides, shopping, a fireworks show and more. The fireworks show is Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 for ages 3 to 12, and $10 for ages 13 and up. Those ticket prices do not include costs for the carnival rides and games.

Songs Under the Stars at ZACH Theatre

ZACH Theatre has some of its most popular shows this weekend. 

Get your shoulder pads and parachute pants ready for its '80s dance party where they will feature songs from the B-52s, Blondie, Madonna and many more. Costumes are encouraged for that show. 

ZACH also has its "Disney Through the Decades" show, where you can hear some of your favorite classic Disney songs and some more recent Disney hits as well. It’s a great sing-along for the entire family.
