FESTIVALS IN AUSTIN
Austin and festivals are two words synonymous with one another. Not only is Austin the state capital of Texas, but it is also dubbed the live music capital of the world. The weather in Austin rivals Miami with more than 300 days of sunshine every year, making festivals possible year round. Festivals in Austin cover a wide range of interests, from arts and culture to well known music festivals including South by Southwest® (SXSW®) and Austin City Limits (ACL).
