Things to Do with the Family in Austin

Hot music, fine art and cold beer make the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar the place where Austin shops in the giving season. The show is actually two events in one: an art fair and music festival with a vibrant community-driven vibe.

The AUSTIN TRAIL OF LIGHTS is Austin’s largest holiday tradition and 2nd largest event in the city. Run by the Trail of Lights Foundation, the annual event in Zilker Park celebrates the unique spirit and people that make Austin the place we call home.

Our Christmas Light Show has become an annual tradition for many Austinites. Every year, we decorate the deck with over 1 million LED lights and set up a show to our favorite holiday tunes.

Its that time a year again. Time to dawn our Santa hats, elf ears or in this case our Rudolph antlers! Our Run Run Rudolph Virtual 5k Run is fun for all ages.

It wouldn't be Christmas in Austin without The Nutcracker! Ballet Austin's The Nutcracker is the longest-running production of the seasonal classic in the state of Texas, now in its 56th season.

Help us reach our year-end goal! No gift amount is too small!

Let your kiddos ring in the New Year AND still make their bedtime! Join Thinkery on December 31 for our third annual Noon(ish) Year’s Eve Balloon Drop & Bubble Wrap Stomp!
