What to Know Before Attending the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival

The City of Austin is gearing up to host the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park, scheduled for two weekends: October 4-6 and October 11-13. In preparation for this much-anticipated event, city officials have issued a comprehensive guide to help attendees navigate the festival safely and enjoyably. Key highlights include transportation options such as shuttle services from Republic Square Park and public transit routes via CapMetro, specifically the MetroRapid 803, which provides convenient access to the festival grounds. Festival-goers are advised to review park availability and be aware of construction zones that may affect access. Attendees should bring empty refillable water bottles, as free water refill stations will be available, and are reminded to wear appropriate outdoor attire for the weather.

The guide also underscores the importance of adhering to park rules, including prohibitions on glass, outside alcohol, and swimming, with violations subject to fines. Additionally, the City encourages everyone to practice Leave No Trace principles to maintain the park's natural beauty. With these guidelines in place, the City of Austin looks forward to welcoming music lovers from across the nation for an unforgettable festival experience.
