Event Details ...

Cost: FREE for the walk and optional dinner afterwards at your own expense.

Weather: The event will take place light rain or shine. If it’s on our calendar then we’re proceeding as planned.

Parking: Many options throughout the area (mostly paid). If driving, please arrive in the area several minutes early so that you have plenty of time to find parking and walk to our meeting point.

Meeting Point: In front of Fareground: 111 Congress Avenue - Austin (across from the LINE Hotel). Look for your hosts Robert (wearing a fedora-style hat) & Michele (also wearing a hat), along with a group of friendly people.

Before the Event: Socializing from 3:00 - 3:10 pm and we’ll depart at approximately 3:10.

Icebreaker Introductions: We should have a good-sized group and so instead of everyone introducing themselves to the group we will get to know each other by distributing blank stickers and colored markers and we’ll ask everyone to write down on their sticker: 1). first name. 2). favorite food. 3). dream vacation. Example: “Michele - Strawberries - Kenya” or “Robert - Chocolate - Tokyo”.

Late Arrivals: If you arrive after 3:10 just catch up. We’ll be walking around the Four Seasons Hotel, then across the Congress Avenue Bridge to the Hyatt Regency Austin, and then west along Lady Bird Lake / The Colorado River.

Walking Distance: Approximately two miles with a few short breaks for photos, hydration, rest, etc. along the way.

Ending Point: Fareground (our starting point).

After the Event: Optional dinner at Fareground Austin (food hall).
