Off-campus

We'll kick off the evening at the Liberty Lunch space located inside Stubb's Bar-B-Q for a special pop-up edition of The Front Market, featuring local artists, makers, vintage vendors, and creative entrepreneurs. The event is part of Hot Summer Nights, Austin's free, citywide music festival showcasing live performances across multiple venues in the Red River district. During the pop up, walk up and down the block to enjoy the one-and-only free Hot Summer Nights Festival, featuring more than 50 shows and live sets by Austin musicians in some of the city's iconic Red River venues.

Whether you're looking to reconnect with fellow alumni, discover local artists, enjoy live music, or simply experience a classic Austin summer evening, this is a great opportunity to gather and celebrate our community.
