Take in these summer performances on a blanket under a big Texas sky.

Austin Sound and Cinema
Austin Sound and Cinema features unique pairings of live music and some of the most popular movies of all time. Bands perform a tribute to the movie, followed by the film screening on the Alamo Drafthouse's giant inflatable outdoor screen. This takes place on the lawn at The Long Center each year, with the perfect view of the sun setting on the downtown skyline behind the stage.

Austin Symphony H-E-B July 4th Concert & Fireworks
Austin's largest Independence Day celebration is held at Auditorium Shores at The Long Center and features patriotic music by the Austin Symphony with a grand finale fireworks display over Lady Bird Lake.

Movies at Deep Eddy
Watch family-friendly flicks like "Ghostbusters" on the grassy knoll or from an inner tube in the 70-degree water at Deep Eddy Pool with the Summer Splash Movie Series Saturdays at dusk.
