We have you to thank!

Talk about once-in-a-lifetime moments, because 2024 has been full of them here at the Long Center! Where else could you watch Austin's first total solar eclipse since 1397 with 3,000 friends AND witness Willie Nelson & Family celebrating 50 years of Austin City Limits television? Not to mention another stellar season of local music at The Drop-In. It's been quite a year.

But we couldn't do this without you — explore our 2024 highlights and know that this kind of community impact can only happen with your support. With a year-end donation to the Long Center, we can continue to fuel the creativity that happens only in the Soul of Austin.

The community here in Austin has been amazing and this area is so special to so many people. There’s nowhere on earth quite like Austin 🙂

For every one person on stage, there are 10 other people working to help get them up there. It’s a special group to be a part of. It’s an important group to advocate for.
