First Thursday

On the first Thursday of the month, South Congress basically becomes a giant block party from Barton Springs Road to Elizabeth Street. All of the stores along South Congress that typically close early stay open late (most until 10 pm, but some later). Many of the stores also have special sales and give out free drinks on these nights. Additionally, some of the restaurants and bars have drink specials. Stay within easy access of all this and more when you stay at JW Marriott, the best choice in South Congress hotels Austin, TX.
