Central Texas Juneteenth
Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham Lincoln on the first day of 1863, the news didn’t reach Texas until two and a half years later, when Union troops arrived in Galveston to let enslaved people know they were free. Nonprofit Greater East Austin Youth Association commemorates the occasion each year with a parade weaving through the Eastside and culminating in a family-friendly festival in Rosewood Neighborhood Park offering live music, vendors, children’s activities, food, and lots of fun.Thu., June 19 -

Concerts in the Park
’Tis the season when Austin’s two biggest attractions – beautiful nature and live music – are often found at the same event. One such blissful union is found in the 23rd annual return of Austin Symphony Orchestra Hartman Foundation concerts on the lawn of the Long Center. All ages, species, pets, and children are welcome at this truly communitywide event, where locals can be found on Sunday evenings bringing a picnic and friends to lay out and listen to a world-class orchestra as they watch another day come to a close. The 2025 concert schedule includes brass, wind, and string ensembles playing a range of tunes from jazz to pop to film scores to classical. This is one of the magical things about Austin – and completely free. Locals and visitors alike should not miss, as it will continue every Sunday through June 29. – Lina FisherThrough June 29 -

Last Voyage of the Voyagers
Austin’s comedy scene is synonymous with improv, but it’s not all about the “yes, and.” Sketch comedy troupe the Voyagers goes on stage with a lot more than a wing, a prayer, and hopes that the audience has some good prompts. Promising live sketch comedy from the bottom of the barrel of their hearts, these laughs from the end times come from writer/director John Gholson, who is set to become the toast of this year’s Tribeca Festival as star of the new Austin-made horror, Man Finds Tape. But before he terrorizes the Big Apple, catch him and the rest of the Voyagers as they find humor in these dumpster fire days each Saturday night through May. – Richard WhittakerSaturdays -

Metropolis With Live Score by David DiDonato (1927)
By playing original music live in a movie theatre to accompany the action onscreen, David DiDonato isn’t reinventing the wheel here; that’s just how things were done back in the silent film era. But they weren’t doing it on a double-neck electric guitar, that’s for sure. (Point DiDonato!) The Austin musician cycles through synthwave, dream pop, black metal, and more in his lively score for one of the all-time greats: Fritz Lang’s enduring sci-fi vision of a world where autocrats and automation conspire to keep the working class down. Hmm. If only there were some contemporary resonance there… – Kimberley JonesSat., May 31 -

Nakia & the Never Not Now (performance & record signing)
Earlier this month, when Shinyribs serenaded Waterloo Records, emotions ran heavy in the knowledge of the group’s final live appearance at that location. Expect no less from Nakia. A semifinalist on The Voice and perennial Austin City Limits television show attendee, the South Austin soul man runs deep through the local scene lore. No surprise, then, that his swan song at Sixth and Lamar – Waterloo will relocate several blocks north this summer – services one of his finest recorded moments. Signal, inspired by Eighties synthpop, pulses his rich and deepening croon atop a lithe bed of electro delectables for maybe the best fit in decades, as aided by new band the Never Not Now. – Raoul HernandezFri., May 30, 5pm -

Spirit Adrift, Mean Mistreater, High Desert Queen [control room]
When Nathan Garrett purchased acreage just outside of Bastrop and relocated there from Phoenix on March 1, 2020, the heavy metal hero closed a lifelong loop. Visiting here during elementary school, growing up on ZZ Top and Waylon Jennings, and touring through Austin more than Oklahoma, where the singer-shredder was raised, Spirit Adrift’s astral projectionist identified as a Lone Star decades before arriving. Fifth and most recent full-length Ghost at the Gallows furthers his and drummer Marcus Bryant’s ascension metallurgy, while last year’s Hot & Heavy: Live in Tejas cements it. “Dazed and Confused is a huge reason why I’m here,” revealed Garrett that pandemic year. “Billy Joe Shaver: I listened to his self-titled album every day. It’s why I’m here, people like that.” – Raoul HernandezSat., May 31, 8pm -
