Creek Show
NOV 7 – 17 | Times Vary |
Waller Creek (Between 9th St. and 12th St.)
One of the most lit events of the year is back at Waller Creek for 11 nights. The 6th annual Creek Show will be lighting up a portion of downtown Austin for you to come and check out.
Last year more than 50,000 people attended throughout the duration of the show and this year more are expected to come and check out the six new installations. The installations are created by local artists, architects, and designers. To learn more about the installations and who created them check out the installation page.
While most people come for the light installations they hang around for the live musical performances that take place every single night, food trucks on-site, and awesome activities for all ages. Activities include a family zone with interactive activities from The Thinkery, Mad Science, Austin FC, Protection Department, Austin Watershed, and more.
Students from the University of Texas have constructed what they call the Creek Monster Habitat where visitors will be transported to the Creek Monsters nest through an audio-visual experience. Be sure to stop by the Creek Show backYARD at the Sheraton Austin Hotel to play illuminated lawn games plus drink hot chocolate and coffee.
