Happy Autumn!

As the mosaic of nature's colors arrive, the pumpkins grow in the cornfields, and the cornucopia of harvest festivals enrich our area, we want to wish you a Happy Autumn.

Three Fun Facts on ACL this weekend!

1) The Box Office is located across the street from the Barton Springs Entrance and will be open during the week of the Festival as follows: Wednesday and Thursday from 3PM to 8PM. Friday through Sunday from 10AM to 10PM.

2) From workshops and engaging activities to all-day music performances, Austin Kiddie Limits will be open daily from 11AM to 4:3PM. And don’t forget — kids 10 and under get in FREE!

3) Topping the list of Austin’s best qualities is its mild fall weather. That said, Mother Nature can be fickle ‘round these parts and you won’t want to be caught unprepared. Pack the sunscreen and a sweater and make sure you have some rain gear just in case a drizzle heads our way.

The Continental Club: Hit The Stage

Austin is well-known as one of the best live music spots in the United States, and there’s always something going on there. One of the top places to catch bands in town is The Continental Club. Opened in 1957, the Club was originally a private supper club that hosted big bandleaders like Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey, but when the Texas rock boom started in the late 1960s, the Continental became a destination for rock fans. The club’s golden age saw legends like Joe Ely and Stevie Ray Vaughn take the same stage as young turks like the Butthole Surfers. In the 80s, the entire club was remodeled to give it a 50s throwback vibe, but the spirit of the place hasn’t changed a bit. On any given night, a band will take the stage, the dance floor will be packed and you’re sure to make a new friend or two.
