A brass-forward open-air set built for the last golden hour of the season. Local players rotate through New Orleans standards, deep funk, and loose Austin originals while food stands stay open late. Arrive early for a spot near the front; the second set begins after sunset with guest vocalists and a full percussion line. A brass-forward open-air set built for the last golden hour of the season.

A one-night outdoor screening of an imagined cult classic, preceded by a short conversation with the local art team behind its restored print. Drinks and snacks are available from the bar; blankets are encouraged. The program opens with a five-minute visual essay made by Austin students and ends with a late-night DJ set in the lobby.

An intimate new performance work for six dancers, live drums, and a room that keeps changing shape. Each ticket includes a post-show conversation with the ensemble. The first half moves through a series of close-range vignettes; the second invites the audience to circulate through the space as the score opens up.

A social twilight ride with three pace groups and a no-drop route through the eastside. Helmets and lights are required. The lead group pauses twice for water and a quick regroup, while the easy group ends at a nearby taco stand. New riders can arrive thirty minutes early for a free safety check.

Start before the city is fully awake with a guided walk through the garden’s shaded paths. Bring binoculars if you have them, but a few loaners are available at check-in. The route is accessible and slow-paced, with naturalists stopping to identify calls, seasonal blooms, and the small movements that are easy to miss later in the day.

A five-course dinner tracing the bright, smoky, and fermented sides of chile. Each plate arrives with a paired pour and a short note from the kitchen. Seating is communal, so the evening feels like a conversation instead of a reservation. Dietary notes can be shared when booking, and the final course lands just before the late-night service begins.

An afternoon of photographs, field recordings, and neighborhood stories gathered by Austin families over the last forty years. Browse the installation at your own pace, then join an archivist for a hands-on scanning table where visitors can contribute copies of their own local ephemera. The gallery remains open through the early evening for a final listening session.

A low-key early-evening mixer for neighbors, makers, and curious regulars. Expect name tags, small plates, and a quick round of local introductions before the patio settles into conversation.

Five Austin teams unveil new ideas in rapid-fire presentations, followed by demos, drinks, and an open-floor afterparty. Come for the reveals and stay to meet the people building what’s next.

A Sunday market centered on independent ceramics, printed matter, vintage finds, and pantry goods. Bring a tote, browse slowly, and catch a rotating schedule of short maker demos throughout the afternoon.

An open working session for technologists, designers, and public-minded problem solvers. Bring a project or join a table exploring practical tools for an easier, more connected Austin.

A first look at a new group exhibition of texture, projection, and place. The opening includes a short artist talk, a roaming sound piece, and time to explore the galleries after dark.
