This event brings together local restaurants, chefs from across the country, and plenty of “please let me eat that” moments.
🕺 EDM, dance, and immersive festivals
For those who prefer beats to ballots, Seismic Dance Event 8.0 lands November 14–16, 2025, at The Concourse Project in Austin. Expect curated house and techno sets, visual experiences, and late-night energy. It’s the kind of weekend where your soul leaves Austin with a little more bounce in its step.
