Best events in
Arboretum

While the Arboretum is more known for upscale retail than a packed concert schedule, there are plenty of events and things to do in Arboretum, Austin, TX. The area's rhythm is relaxed and family-friendly, catering to professionals and shoppers rather than the late-night crowds of downtown. Its park-like setting at the edge of the Texas Hill Country provides a distinct, more suburban Austin experience.

An evening in the Great Hills neighborhood often flows from shopping at The Arboretum to dinner or drinks with a view at The Knotty Deck.
Local producers and artisans gather for the weekly Arboretum Food and Artisan Market, located in the Juliet Italian Kitchen parking lot.
For a more casual pub atmosphere, Pour House and Celis Brewery offer laid-back spots just a short drive from the area's main retail centers.
