Autumn in Austin is simply delicious! The weather is beautiful, and the night sky is on fire. Austin is known for its strong connection with music, museums, and culture which makes it an incredible place to explore. As the days get shorter and a little bit cooler, you may be tempted to stay in and snuggle up with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Before you call it a night, we thought you might want to know about some of the upcoming events going on in and around Austin in November.
- Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Presents the Field of Light. Some art installations inspire the viewer for a lifetime, and this may be one of those installations. The Field of Light art installations is set to dazzle with thousands of solar-powered lights illuminating the natural beauty of Austin. Bruce Munro, the creator of the Field of Light installation, said this about the installation: “Austin is such a unique destination that embodies many of the core values of this installation. My hope is that the Field of Light installation will inspire visitors to contemplate a kinder and more connected world.” Certainly an important message for our time. Check out this installation before it leaves on December 31!
