The Long Center for the Performing Arts
You’ll want to visit the Long Center as much for what’s happening inside as for the ultra-modern exterior. The lakefront community gathering place and performance venue space is home to a range of live performances, including lyric opera, ballets, rock concerts, and many of Austin’s prime foodie events, including the Austin Food + Wine Festival. Food trucks and pop-up art installations and special events are also featured on the City Terrace, which offers up one of the best views of downtown and Lady Bird Lake.
