Free Music in the Parks Events

The City of Austin's Music Division and Parks Department bring you Music in the Parks, a year-long concert series that features free, live and diverse concerts set in various parks throughout Austin. Expanding on the success of Live from the Plaza, this is an incredible opportunity for Austin musicians to gain exposure to new audiences and for community bonds to be strengthened. The concerts are an effort to promote the educational, social/environmental, cultural, economic and health benefits of leisure and recreation to individuals, families, neighborhoods and communities.

Performances are free and appropriate for the whole family. All are welcome and invited to attend.
