Here are a few happenings for Labor Day Weekend in Austin, Texas.
Queen of Zanzibar: Freddie Mercury Birthday Bash
Queen fans of Austin, get ready to Break Free! Did you know that Queen icon and lead-singer, Freddie Mercury, was born in Zanzibar on September 5th? And, did you know that the Zanzibar rooftop opened on September 5th too? With Labor Day weekend falling on this iconic date, it can only mean one thing: we’re Having a Good Time.
Festivities will reign all of LaborDay Weekend with Queen tunes and limited-time drink specials, all leading to a Queen of Zanzibar Bday Bash on Tuesday, September 5th. We Will Rock You with all-night music, island-style ease, and a tribute to Freddie Mercury’s incomparable legacy.

Lenoir Backyard Beach-Steak Dinner
Lenoir, Austin’s original farm-to-table restaurant, is thrilled to announce its upcoming Backyard Beach-Steak Dinner on Sunday, September 3, benefitting Austin Pets Alive! Guests are invited to indulge in an all-you-can-eat seafood feast, which will include a raw and ceviche bar, for $95 per person ($20 for children ages 7 to 12; free for children 6 and under).
The September event will follow a similar format to Lenoir’s popular Backyard Beefsteak Dinner that took place in July. The event will be held in Lenoir’s wine garden, shaded by a 300-year-old live oak tree and cooled down by a variety of fans and misters. Guests can enjoy the seafood banquet, complete with a raw bar, whole fish from the grill, seasonal sides, delicious desserts, and more. Beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase.
This event is in support of Austin Pets Alive!, an organization that is pioneering comprehensive, innovative programs designed to save the animals most at risk for euthanasia. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to Austin Pets Alive!
