Things to Do in Austin in May

Blues on the Green

Zilker Park
From May through August, hundreds of concert-goers flock to Zilker Park to partake in one of Austin’s most beloved traditions: Blues on the Green. It’s a free concert series that pops up once a month during the summer months. There are food and drink vendors available for purchase, or you can always pack your own dinner. Make sure to bring a blanket or two and find a nice spot for the night. The event, like most things in Austin, is dog-friendly so if you’re traveling with Fido, you can bring him along too!

Take a dip in one of Austin’s iconic pools

2131 William Barton Dr, Austin, TX 78746
Take a dip in one of Austin’s iconic pools
With a size of three acres, Barton Springs Pool isn’t your ordinary swimming pool. It’s a freshwater pool whose water is fed by a source of springs at the bottom. You’ll want to get there early as it gets very busy during the daytime. If you’re feeling adventurous, head on over at night and swim in cold, dark waters whose true depths cannot be seen by the naked eye once the sun sets. The pool is free from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. every night. Photo courtesy: austintexas.gov  

Dripping Springs

24300 Hamilton Pool Rd, Dripping Springs, TX 78620
Dripping Springs
If you’re looking for a real natural wonder, take a drive about 45 minutes west of Austin, and you’ll find yourself in Dripping Springs, TX, which is home to the beautiful Hamilton Pool Preserve. The pool is a result of a once-underground river which had collapsed, leaving a dome-like shape on the back half of the pool. Bring your swimming clothes and dive into the icy waters that sit below a 50-foot waterfall. Due to the popularity of the pool, you’ll have to make reservations ahead of time.

Get dirty on famous 6th St. and the Red River Cultural District

6th Street and Red River District
No trip to Austin would be complete without a trip to infamous 6th street. Two blocks of bars, restaurants, shops, and a weekend block party that is closed to all traffic, 6th Street is the place to go for a raunchy night out. Situated in the heart of downtown Austin, it’s conveniently located to the Texas State Capitol building, delicious cuisine, and Lady Bird Lake. A few blocks away, right past the Austin Convention Center, you’ll find the Red River District which is another entertainment neighborhood worth checking out. The district boasts some of the very best live musical performances in the city.
