Bat Fest
Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, Austin, TX
A ticketed street festival built around the nightly emergence of Austin's 1.5 million strong Mexican free tailed bat colony from beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge. Run by Roadway Productions since 2006, it fills downtown with three music stages plus food and craft vendors. The 2026 edition marks its 20th year.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
