Free Week 2020

Starting Thursday, Jan. 2, and ending on Sunday, Free Week is a community event where you can check out local performances at live music venues for free. The event started about 17 years ago in the Red River Cultural District, but now many other venues participate.

Paranormal Cirque

Acrobats, illusionists and mysterious creatures make up this experience, but it's not your typical cirque show. This a show specifically for adults. It kicked off on New Year's Day and will be in Round Rock until Jan. 12.
