Friday, January 5th
Free Week 2024 | Fri & Sat, Times Vary | Locations Vary
Free Week started in 2003 at the legendary Emo’s (at 6th and Red River St) as a way to keep the club’s lights on and staff working during the dead winter when business was historically slow. What started as a one-venue annual event grew into a movement, with venues Austin to Nashville participating, with tens of thousands attending city-wide. Check here for info on show times and venues.
