Come on out to the lawn of the Long Center on Wednesday, July 19 for our next Sound & Cinema, presented by Texas Lottery®! Catch a free screening of Galaxy Quest on the big screen with live music from The Octopus Project. The fun starts around 6 p.m. with the concert at 7:30 p.m., followed by the movie around 8:45 p.m.

–> Food! Food trucks will be setup on the Long Center Terrace and will open at 6 p.m. Vendors include Peached Torilla, Garbo’s, Mama Fu’s, Rosarito, Slab BBQ, Newk’s Eatery, Uncle Louie G and Moojo. YUM!

–> Fun: Stop by the Do512 Family tent for free swag and activities for the kids!  From 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., Mad Science of Austin will be there with hands-on fun. And while grown-ups get to enter the money machine at the Texas Lottery® tent for the chance to win real cash, children of all ages can have a blast in the kid’s version of the money machine to win little prizes.

–> VIP Access for Texas Teachers: On behalf of Texas Lottery, Austin Sound & Cinema would like to invite Texas Teachers to a VIP upgrade for the July 19th event. Enjoy sectioned seating (limited capacity available) and Terrace Viewing. Head to the Texas Lottery tent on the Long Center Terrace to show your teacher ID and pick up a VIP wristband between 6 – 8 p.m.

–> What to Bring: Arrive early go get a good spot. The Long Center lawn provides plenty of room to play around with the kids before everything starts to help them from getting antsy. Bring games or a ball to throw around if you’d like! Bring a blanket to get comfy. Pets must be leashed. Please do not bring any outside food or alcoholic beverages. You can get your food & drink there!

The event is absolutely free to attend! Parking at the Long Center garage costs $8 cash or credit.

Parents, we totally understand that you might not want to keep the kids up late, but it’s certainly cool to come, picnic, enjoy the food trucks, the sights of the city, listen to some awesome local music and duck out early. Whatever works for your family.
