Each year, the Austin Civic Orchestra hosts a free pops concert in the park, this year taking place at the Zilker Hillside Theatre. Guestst are encouraged to bring a blanket or low chair to relax on the hillside and enjoy the performance by the musicians and friends of the Austin Civic Orchestra. As a cherished tradition, they will conclude the concert with Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever, conducted by a lucky winner drawn from the audience.
