Austin, Texas Events

Known for its raging live music scene, the city has no shortage of music shows and festivals - but Austin, Texas events encompass much more than that. Multiple marathons and half-marathons keep the city in shape (Lance Armstrong is a local) and foodies will love the springtime Austin Wine Festival and the Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival.

The Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo takes place each March, while summer hosts the Republic of Texas Biker Rally and autumn brings fun football games at the University of Texas. Finally, by far the biggest of events in Austin, Texas is the South By Southwest (SXSW) Film and Music Festival, a three-week celebration of mediated art that attracts musicians and industry insiders from all over the world each March.
