Your Guide to November 2025 in Austin
Think Austin takes a breather after October? Think again. November’s bursting with events, eats, and inspiration. If you’re not sure what to add to your calendar (or your fridge), fear not! Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by producer Elissa Castles and Leila Sales, book publisher, editor, and writer of the weekly newsletter Lite + Brite, to help you plan the perfect month in Austin. We’re sharing our top picks for what to see (don’t miss the Austin Studio Tour), what to read, and what to cook this November. Plus, if you’ll be spending extra time in the kitchen, consider giving back by donating to one of Austin’s local free fridges.
