😂 Comedy For A Cause, Restaurant Deals & Father's Day Crafts
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Good morning, New Braunfels! We're heading toward the weekend, and today's featured stories include a night of laughs for a good cause, a guide to some of the best restaurant deals around town, and a fun Father's Day craft activity the whole family can enjoy. Let's dive in!
Looking for live music, cold drinks, and a laid-back Hill Country atmosphere this weekend? Our partners at Happy Cow Bar have you covered with two nights of shows you don’t want to miss.
On Friday night, catch the up-and-coming metalcore band Waves In April, followed by popular San Marcos singer-songwriter Hank Weaver on Saturday night. Pair the music with award-winning burgers, an ice-cold drink from the full bar, and one of the most unique outdoor music venues in the area. It's the perfect excuse to escape the crowds and enjoy a true Texas summer evening.

A night of comedy benefiting local youth athletics
Get ready for an evening of laughs at Slam Dunk Stand Up, taking place tonight at 8 pm at Texas Ski Ranch. Hosted by Hooter Moreno, the event features performances from viral comedian Jon "Polar Bear" Gonzalez and headliner Rick Gutierrez, bringing plenty of relatable stories, sharp observations, and crowd-pleasing humor to the stage.
Even better, the event benefits NB Hoopsters, helping support youth basketball programs in the New Braunfels community. It's a chance to enjoy a great night out while giving back to a local cause.
Some of the best food specials in New Braunfels all in one place
Eating out doesn't have to break the bank. From Happy Cow's popular Steak Night and Burger Night to half-price pretzels at Krause's, BOGO burgers at UBP, and happy hour specials throughout town, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a great meal while keeping your wallet happy.
Whether you're craving barbecue, burgers, Mexican food, German favorites, or pizza, our roundup highlights some of the best ongoing restaurant deals available in New Braunfels throughout the week.
If you've been disappointed with microblading results in the past, Nano Brows may be the upgrade you've been looking for. Unlike traditional microblading, Nano Brows use a precise digital technique that creates softer, more natural-looking hair strokes with better pigment retention and healing, even for oily or sensitive skin.
Our partners at Newman & Company, one of New Braunfels' premier med spas, specialize in fully customized Nano Brows tailored to your facial features, skin type, and personal style. The goal isn't trendy brows. It's creating natural, beautiful results that enhance your appearance and hold up over time.
