If there’s one thing we love in Austin it’s free live music. And if it’s a family friendly event, that is all the better! This year marks the 23rd anniversary of KGSR’s Unplugged at the Grove where you can enjoy live music on Thursdays at the iconic Shady Grove on Barton Springs Road, going strong throughout the summer. There’s no cover charge, and while you are there, you can enjoy beer specials and great food, too.

Otherwise, additional parking is available at the Bicycle Sports Shop right down the street at 517 S. Lamar Blvd.
