The Long Center for the Performing Arts

The Drop In is great. Live music weekly on Thursdays. Tickets are released on Monday. They show their events on insta. The city lights were nice to take in. Entry is near riverside drive and 1st street. Parking isn’t close by unless you park at the long center. Street parking is somewhat far but it’s an easy walk. There are ride options parked outside after the event if you’d rather not walk. Seating is on the grass. People brought chairs and blankets. You can bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at a water refill station.

More like a 4.5… Nice! April 2025, never been here. Came to see Acro Cats! ❤️ Rollins Theater is so intimate, with roomy seating and it’s nice and COOL (I run very !)…it looked so much bigger and with many more seats on the website when I chose seats and paid (a very easy procedure and I chose for my tickets to me mailed to me). Seats are riser-style (but with nice chairs), so great views for all. No need to pay more…all seats are great; it’s very small (maybe we’re just in one section, walled off). If you wear , though, you’ll want them. Outrageous parking (to me…$20), but I think it was available further away for half that, so just plan better than we did...but really the only reason for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…and it seems to be avoidable (though I can’t speak for a huge show or whatever else they do there). Show was 7 pm on a Saturday and zero bad traffic (that certainly CAN happen, even on weekends) or crowds. Reggae Fest was across the street…Jah! No resulting crowds. (Photos show the delightful show more than they do the facility…but there were no bad seats in there.)

LOVE coming here to enjoy all the shows they have to offer. This recent show (Journey to the West) was one of my favorites!

This is such a great venue for an arts performance, especially considering ample parking in the garage next door and one of the best night times views of Austin.

We have been here a few times. The facility has good acoustics and seating. Polite and helpful ushers helped us find our seats. Lightning is also nice

Went to see the Mariachi Rock Revolution to support my brother's non-profit organization Vitera Cares Foundation...which helps schools like Mariachi Para Todos teach the Mariachi style to anyone that wants to learn no matter what age or ethnicity. The show was amazing! Such a wonderful experience! ❤

Watched the nutcracker here last december 2023. It was fantastic, the show itself was worth it! We arrived an 1.5 hour early before the show which gave us enough time to secure a parking spot in their garage. They had a small parking fee, I believe it was less than $15 (not so sure). From the garage, you will have to walk a decent distance maybe less than a mile to the building so I definitely would not recommend wearing super high heels. Plenty of stuff to do while waiting for the doors to open, they had a skating rink, cocoa stations and some small businesses that sell random crafts. They had 3 food trucks which was great since the only food options inside the centre were cookies and pretzels. Also plus a really nice view of the austin downtown sky line. Great date night for couples and families!
