We know you probably already have some sweet plans for the weekend, but carve out a day or two to attend one of the following parties benefiting relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey victims. There will be food, drink, music and, in some cases, a cardboard cut-out of Diddy. Nobody loses. 

Thursday

Hurricane Harvey Benefit with DJ Mel: Native Hostel is hosting a benefit on Thursday night, featuring DJ Mel. The event is free to attend but donations will be collected, and Native will match the funds raised. They're also offering 50% off beds to anyone affected by Hurricane Harvey. Thursday at 9pm

Friday

Hurricane Harvey Relief Party: Treaty Oak Brewing & Distilling is hosting a four-day Labor Day Weekend party to benefit a number of organizations: Central Texas Food Bank, SPCA of Texas and the Texas Diaper Bank. Supplies will also be collected for the Austin Disaster Relief Network. As part of the festivities, a special Hatch Chili Burger and a Harvey Wallbanger cocktail special will be on the menu, plus limited bottles of their first Guajillo pepper-infused Bourbon. Live music and a raffle will keep visitors entertained throughout the weekend. Friday at 3pm, Saturday-Monday at noon

Houston Strong: Benefiting the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund: Grab tickets to the Mohawk on Friday for a fundraiser featuring Black Joe Lewis, the Octopus Project, Robert Ellis, Walker Lukens, The Deer and Otis the Destroyer. All ticket proceeds will be donated to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund via Greater Houston Community Foundation, but you can also bring supplies such as diapers, blankets, toiletries, bottled water and other necessities to be distributed to those affected. Friday at 7pm

Saturday

Smoke Out Saturday: Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden is throwing a Smoke Out Saturday event, with a special Smoke Out plate (Smoked Pig from Yonder Way Farm, baked beans, coleslaw, white bread, watermelon), a donation drive and live music. Proceeds from the plate and select Houston breweries will go towards the GlobalGiving Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches: The new Manor eatery is hosting a Hurricane Harvey Relief Fundraiser. They'll be offering a special Hatch Recovery Kolache (Micklethwait's pulled pork shoulder, hatch green chili and cheese), plus a special keg of Yellow Rose IPA from Houston's Lone Pint Brewery. All proceeds from the keg and kolache will go towards the Red Cross. Local musicians will be performing, and there will be $5 portraits from local artists Laura Lit. Saturday at 6pm

Sunday

Diddy Day Soiree: Don a white outfit (head to toe, y'all) and channel your inner Diddy at Austin Beerworks for a fundraiser benefiting the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. Garbo's Lobster Truck ATX will be there with a special oyster and shrimp cocktail bar, and you'll be able to snap a couple pics with Diddy himself—well, a cut-out version—for $5. Sunday at 1pm

We've also rounded up a list of restaurants and bars that are donating money and collecting goods.
