Austinites naturally want to spend time exploring and experiencing downtown’s incredible diversity of public spaces, parks and businesses. We bring people together in the city’s center through creative activations, educational opportunities and signature events that reflect the culture of Austin.
Issues & Eggs
The Downtown Austin Alliance’s Issues & Eggs series is back and better than ever. We’re bringing experts to the breakfast table to provide perspective on the challenges and unique opportunities downtown faces. Join us as we unscramble complex issues one community conversation at a time.
See Upcoming Events Here⟶Holiday Sing-Along & Stroll
We kick off the holiday season every year by hosting the Holiday Sing-Along & Stroll, where thousands of Austinites gather to celebrate the holidays downtown. Thousands join the festivities for live music, KUT and KUTX's annual Sing-Along, various performances and much more — including the downtown tree lighting.
Holiday Stroll⟶Future of Downtown
Future of Downtown highlights the findings from our annual State of Downtown economic development report. In addition to insights on economic trends, we report on progress towards the community’s vision for the future of downtown through compelling speakers and hands-on activations featuring local artists and the latest technology. Due to restrictions on gatherings, our second annual Future of Downtown event unveiling the State of Downtown report was replaced with an online video program.
View Program⟶Republic Square
Republic Square is an important gathering place in the heart of downtown Austin. After a major renovation in 2017, Republic Square is a vibrant hub of events and activations as well as a green space in the city where you can find respite and relaxation.
