Seasons, Festivals & Events

Tethered to the hand

While Texas turns up the heat in the summer, it doesn't seem to slow anyone down. On any given day year-round, Austinites are out in droves enjoying their parks, hike and bike trails, and numerous outdoor dining options. The city's calendar is packed with live music, cultural events, celebrations, and several festivals worth planning a trip around.

Seasons

Since the weather in Austin runs the range from sunny and mild, to blistering hot and violently stormy, it's best to be prepared. Keep water, sunscreen, bug repellent, a hat, sunglasses, and loose clothing on hand to stay safe and comfortable in the heat and sunshine. Be mindful of storms, flooding, and tornado warnings before you plan any outdoor activities.

Festivals & Events

If you are lucky enough to be in town at the right time and get tickets, Austin’s festivals and events are as impressive as they are fun.
