Boerne Weekend: First Friday, Live Theatre, and Tacos + Test Rides (Sept 5–7, 2025)
If you’ve been meaning to get out, this is a good weekend to do it. Start with a relaxed First Friday stroll downtown, add a night of local theatre, and cap it off with breakfast tacos and test rides out by I-10. Simple, local, and easy to enjoy.
1) First Friday at Of A Muse & Deadbeats (Fri 5–9 PM) 💈🎧
Old Town after work is a different pace. Step into Of A Muse for a mix of boho apparel, crystals, and giftables, then slide next door into Deadbeats where the soundtrack and the vinyl bins make it too easy to linger. Expect an easy crowd, a few in-store sips, and the kind of conversations you only have with neighbors you keep running into. Park once along Main or the side streets and take your time. Address is 233 S Main St, Suite F. Free to attend.
Why it works: the combination of light shopping, live-music pop-ups, and an early wrap-up means you can still make dinner or call it a night without driving to San Antonio. Social teasers for the evening are typically posted by the shops day-of.
2) Boerne Community Theatre: Don’t Talk to the Actors (Fri/Sat 8 PM, Sun 2:30 PM) 🎭
A clean, fast backstage comedy about a playwright whose big break is dented by temperamental stars and unsolicited “help.” If you’ve ever watched a plan go sideways once it meets real people, you’ll recognize the beats. BCT keeps it straightforward: free parking, short lines, and volunteers who remember your face by intermission. Performances this weekend are Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM and a Sunday matinee at 2:30 PM. Venue is 907 E Blanco Rd. Tickets are online; this run closes next weekend.

Tip: arrive 15–20 minutes early for simpler parking and to pick up at will-call without a line.
3) Javelina Harley-Davidson “Tacos & Test Rides” (Sat from 9 AM) 🏍️🌮
This is not complicated: breakfast tacos, coffee, and a test ride on a bike you’ve had your eye on. Staff will match you to models, rides start at 9:00 AM, and the sling-bag swag is while supplies last. Bring your license, appropriate gear, and a little time to talk bikes. The dealership sits just off exit 546 at 29078 I-10 W.

Good to know: if you want a specific model, call ahead to reserve a slot. Tacos and certain giveaways typically run out by late morning.

Closing Thoughts
Boerne weekends don’t have to be complicated. A little Main Street shopping, a night at the theatre, and some tacos with the sound of motorcycles in the background is more than enough to reset. Whether you make it to one or all three, the point is the same: step out, see familiar faces, and remind yourself why living here works.
