The weekend in San Marcos is never at a loss for music, particularly at the end of a week when we lost a largely unsung hero of popular music.

If you’ve got a hankerin’ for music, you’d best go ahead on to one of the many honky-tonks around San Marcos where you can take off yer coat, thow it in the corner and stay a little longer. Something about the ATMs in London.

National Pie Day is right here, the NFL playoffs are winding down, the Elephant Man is coming to Wimberley and, of course, there’s music all over San Marcos this weekend.

If you can’t find anything to do around San Marcos this weekend, you are living in one of those sensory isolation boxes, tell you what.

The weekend has a country music marathon, a strange and wonderful musical, an art reception, reading, an alternative Christmas market and more.

Candy corn has been around for a hundred years or so and, while it is available year-round, it is particularly prevalent at Halloween and harvest time. So, as usual, is a weekend full of fun in and around San Marcos.

Before National Watermelon Day creeps up on Monday, you’ve got a weekend offering live music and other delights, including the Wimberley Players performing “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off.”
