TWILIGHT ON THE TRAIL


Join us on Sunday, November 5 for your choice of seating times under the big trees and bright sky overlooking the Ann & Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake – a 2PM daylight brunch or 6:30PM twilight dinner.


This year’s theme is a celebration of Arts & Culture as we prepare to launch our new public art plan along the Butler Trail.


Twilight on the Trail is The Trail Conservancy’s biggest fundraising event each year. Trail supporters, friends, and partners will celebrate with live music, themed cocktails, creative performances, and a curated meal amongst friends.


Put together a creative, artistic spin on the traditional gala attire of “cocktail on top, Trail on bottom” and raise your glasses (and paddles) and help us raise critical funds for ecological preservation and programming of Austin’s most beloved Trail.

Cardone shared this hot take — and many others — in an  interview with Moneywise  after he prompted an AI chatbot to answer the question: “What are the 10 best markets for investing in rental real estate in America?” The AI Smith response started with: “The best markets for investing in real estate in America can vary depending on factors such as population growth, job opportunities, rental demand, affordability and potential rental income.” Up until that point, Cardone — who performed the task live on camera — was pretty happy with the response.
