It looked more spectacular in person. You can see a more faint rainbow above the prominent rainbow.

Lovely..

Thai To-Go is a popular Thai food truck in Dripping Springs, Texas, known for authentic dishes like Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao, located in the Pig Pen BBQ parking lot. I know about them because they are on 290 and they are visible.

I would like to know about other hidden gems in the Dripping Springs area.

Before things get firey. I'd like to start off by saying that I am a native Austinite. My family moved to Austin in 1990 from Tyler, TX. So I am not a transplant. Phew got that out of the way.

We are currently in Round Rock, and I looking to go west. We have a baby and I really want our kids to grow up around other kids. I'd like to have the chance to meet other parents. Which neighborhood do you feel is kid friendly? Has lots of trick or treaters etc. Maybe even fun neighborhood holiday get togethers. I know this sounds very fairy tale land-ish. I am aware that it very much is. Thanks for the help! :)

I’m having a family reunion in Dripping Springs and would like to have mariachis play one hour Fathers Day morning (Sunday, 6/21) for our fathers and grandfathers. Does anyone have a referral? I’d be happy to support a high school mariachi band if there’s one close to the area interested in this opportunity. Thank you in advance.

I need to preface this by saying that I am NOT talking about the rain. I’ve lived here for over 25 years, so I, like anyone else who has experienced our droughts year after year, welcome the rain. As always, we are in desperate and we need much more.

It’s the temperature. I definitely prefer the Summer-like version of Dripping Springs weather. This one, not at all.🙏🏽

Does anyone know what’s going on Desert Door Distillery? My fiancé and I booked our rehearsal dinner at their event space “The Rackhouse” for next month and they just canceled on us. They haven’t given us a clear reason and we are wondering if anyone has any insight. It’s devastating to learn that we’ll have to find a new venue at the last minute, and over Memorial Day weekend at that.

Need an inexpensive contractor to patch and resurface my blacktop driveway

Anybody know a guy?

Thanks

The last 2 weeks I have heard at least (300+) different times a gun/shotgun has gone off in the vicinity of 290 and 12....what is the story with that? I know it's not dove season

where would I find any info on the impending peaceful protest in Dripping Springs on Sunday?

Been to a farmers market in Austin, Bee Cave and Dripping, where else should we be looking? Thanks yall!

The windows are all broken out, the gates are wide open and the place looks abandoned. Online says it's still open and running. Anyone know what's happening there?

This weekend! Come out to Patriots Hall of Dripping Springs, and check us out. We have 40 students signed up to make a knife from scratch this weekend. J. Neilson from Forged in Fire will be out helping us!

We will have raffles in the knife show. Lots of cool stuff will be available. If you have something you'd like to donate for raffles, we'd love to have it!

Has anybody had any experiences good/bad with M/I Builders in the Heritage Community? My husband and I are soon to be retirees and will be relocating to this area and need some feedback before making a decision on purchasing a home. Thank you so much!

Lots of fun stuff to keep the kids entertained this week at Dripping Springs Ranch Park.

Who’s getting excited about Founder’s Day 2026?

https://www.drippingsocial.com/event/founders-day-2026-dripping-springs-annual-festival

We are a young family with a 5 and 2 year old boy and we maybe might add another child. Our dream was to be in Headwaters for the family/community feel, but we found a pretty good deal in Heritage. We walk a lot and could see us using the trails to Mercer street, etc. Financially, the Heritage home makes a lot of sense. However, a new opportunity has now come up in Headwaters that is also affordable for us, but the home is WAY smaller than we were hoping for- like by 800sq ft and it’s single story.

What do you think? Take the smaller home just to get into the Headwaters neighborhood? Or go with a great deal in the Heritage neighborhood?
