Bats, Longhorns, and Witches: Austin's Eclectic Week Awaits

If you’re looking to make the most of your time in Austin this week, you’re in luck, because the city is packed with excitement, music, food, and uniquely Austin experiences. Let’s start with today, September 6th. The highly anticipated Bat Fest is back on Congress Avenue Bridge, an event that keeps Austin weird in the best possible way. Picture this: more than 1.5 million bats emerge around sunset, a dramatic spectacle you’ll never forget. Alongside the bats, you’ll find live music, food vendors, and a spirited costume contest for both adults and kids with cash prizes. As reported by Roadway Events, the party goes on rain or shine, and kids 10 and under get in free with an adult.

Sports fans, get ready—today also marks a big one at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, where the Texas Longhorns kick off their first ever season in the SEC. The energy will be incredible as UT takes on the San Jose State Spartans, so grab your burnt orange and prepare to cheer on the Longhorns according to AustinTexas.org.

For those with a mystical side, the Austin Witches Market happens tonight at Cosmic Pickle on Pickle Road. From 6 to 10 pm, adults can browse magical wares, enjoy drinks and bites from food trucks, and bring their well-behaved pets along. After 7 pm, the event turns 21 and up, so plan accordingly, as listed on Eventbrite.

If arts, history, and science are calling your name, consider visiting the Texas Science & Natural History Museum, open today from 10 am to 5 pm according to the UT Event Calendar. It’s a family-friendly, interactive way to spend the afternoon.

Heading into the weekend, Circuit of The Americas is hosting the FIA World Endurance Championships, also known as Lone Star Le Mans.
