Austin’s New Year

Austin’s New Year brings the community together at Auditorium Shores in Austin for a free, family-friendly night of live music, local vendors, and a midnight fireworks show as we welcome 2026.

With a big outdoor crowd, a riverfront setting, and a true citywide vibe, it’s one of the most popular things to do in Austin on New Year’s Eve.
