Purim hits this Thursday, March 13, and runs through Friday, but you’re allowed an early Purim pickle – as a treat. Local small-batch fermented friends Pickle Envy host a party saluting the holiday’s roots in overcoming fascism, as well as celebrating two years in crunch-tastic business. Attendees can learn PE fermentation secrets through a workshop, see bread-and-butter drag by host the Trans Era, and enjoy pickle-themed drinks and tasty collab treats from Lynny’s and PE. Proceeds benefit the local chapter of Jewish-led immigrant justice org Never Again Action Austin. – James Scott
