"Dive into a Texas-themed oasis at the JW Marriott’s heated rooftop pool. Soak up the views of Lady Bird Lake and the Texas Capitol while sipping on cooling cocktails and enjoying light bites from the pool bar like a chicken Caesar wrap, brisket sliders, and coconut shrimp. For cocktails, the drinks have cute names like the Sunny Disposition (rye whiskey, Hennessy, blueberry, coconut, and lemon juice) and Pocket Full of Sunshine (tequila, prickly pear, and yuzu). Book a day pass or cabana online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Host various panels including discussions on space food, women-owned CPG growth, Kenyan agriculture, organic food future, and Indigenous food systems." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The downtown hotel is hosting a big party at its lobby bar, with live music, cocktails, welcome tequila shots, a dessert table, balloon drops, build-your-own Old Fashioneds, a margarita fountain (!!??), Champagne, caviar, and post-midnight burgers. General admission tickets are $85, with VIP groups for $750 or $1,000. It runs from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. There are indoor and outdoor areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This downtown Austin hotspot gets votes for good reason: There’s its prime location, of course, just minutes from the Blanton Museum of Art, Lady Bird Lake, and several hundred music venues—but what’s inside is also worth mentioning. Guest rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with dark, elegant wood furniture and super-comfortable, “Revive” beds; and the rooftop pool bar offers an Instagram-worthy view of the city."
"Cheeselandia’s state fair-themed display will feature a giant Ferris wheel of cheese, gourmet fondues, and fried cheese curds. The exhibit will include thousands of pounds of cheese, a magician, a juggler, boozy snow cones, and games. Chee-harmony matchmaking system and an augmented reality experience will also be part of the exhibit." - Erin Russell
