Long Center

Thank you, Austin

Thursdays just aren’t the same without you, Austin! Thanks for dropping in with us all summer long for our free concert series. Keep your eyes on next year, and we’ll do it all again.

This year at The Drop-In we had…

51 Community Partners

22 Artists on Stage

12,000+ Attendees

…and the time of our lives. To all of you who make The Drop-In THE place to experience Austin music all summer long, thanks for an incredible year!

Members made the most of The Drop-In

Thank you, Members!

Our Members keep The Drop-In free! While putting on 12 weeks of free music is one of our favorite things, it takes the support of music lovers to make it all happen. Long Center Members get a super-charged Drop-In with early entry, Member Lounge access, and more. Help keep our mission moving & grooving all year!
