Description
In a town already full of live music options, Auditorium Shores is a favorite for free concerts and festivals. Located along the southern shore of Town Lake, across from Palmer Auditorium and just off 1st Street, the park features a wide expanse of lawn that's great for picnics when there are no events going on, and populated by runners and bikers using the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail, which begins here. Also marking the popular spot is a Stevie Ray Vaughan statue and a gazebo used for outdoor events.
