Austin’s Music Scene
The Hip Zip 78704
With Austin's official slogan “The Live Music Capital of the World,” the city has a vibrant live music scene with more music venues per capita than any other U.S. city. Austin's music revolves around the many nightclubs on 6th Street, South Congress Ave in “The Hip Zip 78704” and an annual film/music/multimedia festival known as South by Southwest. The longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin City Limits, is videotaped at the new upscale W hotel in the warehouse district. Austin City Limits and Capital Sports & Entertainment run the Austin City Limits Music Festival, an annual music and art festival held at “The Hip Zip 78704’s” Zilker Park in Austin. Many free outdoor concerts are held along the banks of Lady Bird Johnson Lake at Auditorium Shores in “The Hip Zip 78704”. The Urban Music Festival is held during the Texas Relays weekend every April. Other annual events include Eeyore's Birthday Party and the Austin Reggae Festival (previously named Bob Marley Festival) in April and Carnaval in February. Halloween, St Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras, July 4th, and Juneteenth (Emancipation Day) are all celebrated.
