Austin’s HOTTEST Summer Music Festival
Hot Summer Nights is returning July 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2026!

Organized by Hot Summer Nights is an FREE annual three-day district-wide music and arts festival held in the Red River Cultural District located in the heart of downtown Austin.

Founded in 2017, Hot Summer Nights was originally created in an effort to provide additional revenue to district members, as well as paid opportunities for musicians and artists in the traditionally slower summer months.

We’re honored to help fund incredible organizations like Love Justice International, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing children from trafficking. Through our N2GIVES support, a portion of the revenue from every ad sold into Stroll Balcones & Spicewood Village goes towards restoring hope for human trafficking survivors across the globe.

Ready to Stroll into the weekend like….

🏡 Our Neighbors Said It Best...

We recently asked our Stroll neighbors what they really think — and wow, did you deliver! Here's a peek at what came back:

✨ 100% of respondents say they love Stroll and want to keep getting it every month

✨ 86% have used or saved a local business they discovered through Stroll

But the numbers don't tell the whole story — your words do:

"We specifically moved to this neighborhood to be more involved, more engaged, and meet more people."

"Stroll makes our neighborhood feel close-knit... it's a great icebreaker when you meet someone you've already read about!"

"Getting to know our community better and meeting new friendly faces — whether residents or local businesses."

"I love hearing the stories about the families and the recipes."

This is exactly why we do what we do. Stroll isn't just a magazine — it's the reason neighbors are putting names to faces, discovering trusted local businesses, and feeling more connected to the place they call home. 💛

Thank you for reading, sharing, and being part of this community. Here's to another year of great stories, great neighbors, and great recommendations!

Know a neighbor, pet, athlete, or recipe that deserves the spotlight? Drop a nomination below or DM us! 📩👇

Be sure to check out the July issue for highlights from the recent Spring Fling. It was a great reminder of what makes our neighborhood so special: people coming together to connect, support one another, and simply enjoy being part of the community. Stroll was proud to partner with the BV/S HOA, our advertising partners and several small business owners from right here in the neighborhood to help bring the event to life. Residents enjoyed live music, great food from the country club, local vendors, family activities and plenty of opportunities to catch up with neighbors and meet new faces.
