Austin knows how to have a good time, and Austin knows how to celebrate its Independent spirit, locally owned businesses and unique qualities. Be sure to check out some of these events going on around town:
Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic
Circuit of The Americas
Grab your friends and head out to Circuit of The Americas for Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic. Every year, Willie brings “Trigger” (his guitar’s pet name) and joins his closest friends to put on a star-studded Fourth of July concert followed by a spectacular firework show. This year, he will be joined by Sturgill Simpson, The Head and The Heart, Ryan Bingham, Asleep at the Wheel and more.

Bob Schneider’s Independence Day Celebration
Nutty Brown Amphitheater
Another fan favorite now in its fourth year, is Bob Schneider’s Independence Day Celebration. This year, Eric Tessmer and Jane Ellen Bryant will be joining him at the Nutty Brown Amphitheater and of course it will be followed by (you guessed it), a firework show!
