What’s going on in Austin this weekend? The better question is, what isn’t going on? There are myriad activities to take part in and many shows to enjoy.

1. Fun for everyone

6-8:30 p.m. Friday, April 11. Autism Fun Night at the Austin YMCA.

Don’t let the name fool you. The only aggression at this show is how aggressively talented Austin’s elite high school choir students are. This is the second of three shows, so make sure you check it out.

That’s not all Austin has to offer. Look for a movie night featuring “The Ten Commandments” next Thursday, a few fun talks and even a chance to build something fun at the library.
