FOX 7 Weekend - July 17-19

And from prehistoric beasts to Broadway beats, your Austin weekend is packed with adventure. Here's a look at what's happening around town in the Fox seven weekend. Take a walk on the wild side of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The gardens have been transformed into a prehistoric landscape for Ice Age in the wild. You'll come face to face with 15 animatronic beasts, including a massive £17,000 woolly mammoth that roars, breathes and flicks its tail. This is open daily from 9 to 4 through August 15th. It's free with general admission for tickets and more information. Go to wildflower dot org. Texas Performing Arts presents and Juliet at the Bass Concert Hall through Sunday. This hilarious musical flips the script on Shakespeare, asking what happens if Juliet didn't end it all over Romeo. But the story bursts life with legendary pop hits like since gone and baby one more time. Tickets start at $48 and are available at broadway in austin dot com. Get ready for a kooky and spooky summer night under the stars. Magnolia Music Theater kicks off its production of the Adams family to the Hill Country Galleria and B Cave tonight and tomorrow night, starting at eight on the central lawn. Admission is free. No ticket required. Just bring your lawn chairs, blankets and your best finger snaps. Celebrate French culture tomorrow at the Bastille Day celebration and head over to the French Legation State Historic Site from 10 till 2 for a festive afternoon. Enjoy music, delicious french food, games and family activities. Ground festivities are entirely free. Admission is required to tour the historic structures. Find out more at A. F. Austin dot org.
