Venues that host free music in Austin
Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World by self-proclamation and by genuine substance — the city has more live music venues per capita than almost anywhere on earth, and a remarkable number of those shows are completely free. Sixth Street, the Red River Cultural District, and the South Congress corridor function as open-air free music zones on weekend nights, where live bands play simultaneously at dozens of bars without a cover charge.
