Austin City Limits Weekend 2

Two weekends in Austin's Zilker Park stack more than 100 performances across nine stages. Sets share the grounds with food, drinks, and sweets from Austin favorites, and Austin Kiddie Limits runs beside the main music. ACL Fest Nights carries the party past the daytime schedule. The layout is built for a long day on the grass, so rain boots are the useful extra if the sky opens over the park.

Our take: Eat from the Austin food stands between sets so you are not hunting for a meal once the bigger stages fill up.
