Halloween on 6th Street - Austin

See more photos  here 

It’s that time of year again, I hope you have your costumes picked out (and ladies, let’s try to keep it classy)… it’s Halloween and there’s no other place to go than to 6^th Street. Located in downtown Austin between Congress and Highway 35, 6^th Street is probably known as Texas’ most famous street. 6^th Street and its surrounding streets offer all kinds of entertainment, there are no rules here especially when it comes to Halloween. If you ever find yourself on 6^th street you will see many historical buildings, tons of bars, live music venues, unique restaurants, art galleries, tattoo shops and of course the famous Driskill Hotel. You will also probably run into a few naked people, so don’t be startled… it’s just how we roll (well, not me, but you know who you are).

Austin is known as the “Live Music Capitol of the World” and it all started on 6^th Street. Several other nationally and internationally known events such as SXSW, ACL, Biker Rally, Pecan Street Festival and Mardi Gras Austin all show their love for 6^th street. There’s a reason why tens of thousands of people make their way to 6^th street in their “unordinary and weird” Halloween costumes to party the night away, and each year topping the last. Every bar is packed to the ceilings with some of the craziest people of the city, while the street stays filled with diehard partiers. This is definitely not a place for kids, so that should tell you something.

Great times on 6th Street Austin

I recently stumbled across a photographer’s website here, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT! He happened to be shooting wedding photos at the Driskill Hotel the same day of the 6^th street Halloween celebration. He captured some of the most amazing photos I have seen of the event. His photos can explain how a typical Halloween on 6^th Street plays out, better than I could ever explain.

All I have to say is, if you are in Austin this weekend and you are looking for a way to spend Halloween the right way…. No place is cooler than 6^th Street.
