Stuff to Do in Austin
Share
The Drop In is back at the Long Center starting May 21 with free Thursday night concerts all summer long featuring local bands, skyline views, food trucks, drinks, and one of the best outdoor setups in the city.
The concerts happen on the Long Center’s outdoor stage overlooking Lady Bird Lake and Downtown Austin, and it’s the kind of event that makes you remember why people love summers here so much.
Bring a blanket or lawn chair, show up early for sunset, and make a night out of it. It’s family friendly, dog friendly, and an easy addition to your Austin summer bucket list.

🗓️ Thursdays from May 21 through August 13
🎶 Music starts at 8 PM
🎟️ Free with RSVP
