Waller Creek will soon glow in the light of fantastical art for Creek Show 2024, which runs Friday, Nov. 8 through Saturday, Nov. 16.
For its 10th anniversary exhibition, Waterloo Greenway called upon alumni artists to create illuminated masterpieces like floating eyes, a glowing sea skeletal creature, an interactive school of fish, and more. Take a peek at the preview here.
Before you head to the creek, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- The event runs nightly from 6 to 10 p.m. and requires an online reservation to attend. Tickets are available now, and all proceeds benefit Waterloo Greenway’s community programs.
- Limited paid street + garage parking is available, so event-goers are encouraged to bike, use public transit, or take a rideshare.
- Each night at Creek Show has a special theme or event, like a Veterans Day experience, a night featuring free general admission, a “Vodka for Dog People Night” presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and special vendor markets. View the schedule to plan your visit.
- Local businesses are participating in the occasion, with an on-site Tiff’s Treats truck benefiting Waterloo Greenway and pop-ups like Creek Show Lounge at Swim Club. The bar + restaurant is located at the end of the Waller Creek trail and will feature family-friendly games, music, and special food and drinks.
- Creek Show attendees can grab free wristbands that will land them deals at participating businesses in the Red River Cultural District. Think: free entry at Barbarella until 10:30 p.m. (where you can order a Creek Show-themed cocktail), a $4 pizza slice at Hoboken Pie, 15% off food items at Hyatt House Austin Downtown’s H Bar, and more.
- Austinites can meet the Creek Show artists and listen to a moderated discussion at Downright Austin on Sunday, Nov. 10. See more details.
