The state capital of Texas, Austin offers plenty of things to keep visitors entertained and is a popular destination all throughout the year. Many Thanksgiving weekend visitors will be delighted by Austin 's relatively warm weather, but this isn't why most people come here for the long weekend.

Instead, they come to enjoy the wide range of activities that the city has to offer; live music performances take place almost every night of the week, and the many parks and lakes found throughout the city provide plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, cycling, swimming, and even boating.
