Austin City Limits Live (ACL Live & 3TEN ACL Live) · Downtown Austin
Dance, magic dance! Jim Henson's cult classic hits the big screen while a live band rips through Bowie's gloriously goofy synth-funk score. Puppet chaos, 80s fantasy, and the Goblin King in full spandex glory.

800 Congress · Downtown Austin • $43-$775
Eight days of premieres, retrospectives, and candid talks with the people who actually write and make movies. Catch Ben Foster in The Stalemate, Brad Bird's Ray Gunn, and a Paper Moon screening with Frank Marshall.

800 Congress Ave · Downtown Austin
Eight days of premieres, retrospectives, and real talk from the people who write them. The 33rd edition pairs screenings like Brad Bird's Ray Gunn with a writers conference that's basically film school in a week.
December 15 at 7:30pm
Bass Concert Hall · University of Texas at Austin
Buddy the Elf meets the symphony: the Austin Symphony Orchestra plays John Debney's score live while the full film screens above them. A very merry excuse to laugh, cry, and feel festive.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
