Live performances and concerts anchor the Long Center's calendar year-round, spanning classical music, contemporary theatre, comedy, and visiting speakers of national renown. Every ticketed event is curated to hold its own on a world-class stage.
Beyond the mainstage, the Center opens its doors in ways that surprise. The Drop-In, a free outdoor concert series, invites the whole city to gather without a ticket in hand. Community Day, Concert Club, and the NYE Social Club deepen that sense of belonging across the calendar year. For those who want to give back, volunteer opportunities place passionate individuals directly in the life of the organization.
Private events and holiday gatherings find a singular setting here, with venue rental options that carry the weight and beauty of a true performing arts hall. The membership program offers a closer relationship with everything the Long Center produces, while the Create Austin grant initiative supports artists and arts organizations across the region.
