Creek Show 2026 Lights Up Waller Creek in Austin: Family Night on November 14 With Ten Light Installations
In Austin, Travis County, Texas, Waterloo Greenway's Creek Show 2026 marks Family Night on Saturday, November 14. The show runs nightly from November 13 to 21, 6 to 10 p.m., on the newly opened southern stretch of Waterloo Greenway along Waller Creek from 4th Street to Lady Bird Lake, known as The Confluence. The main entrance is at 4th Street and Sabine Street (703 1/2 E 4th St).
In its first year on the new southern stretch, Creek Show features ten light-based installations created by local artists, transforming downtown into a celebration of creativity, connection, and community. Family Night invites visitors to set out together on a hunt for glowing guardians, watchful flowers, and fish that swim through the air. Later themed nights include Maker Night on November 15 and a free Community Night on November 16, for which a reservation is required.
Creek Show 2026 is a ticketed event, with all proceeds benefiting Waterloo Greenway Conservancy and its mission to create and maintain a 35-acre urban park system in partnership with the City of Austin. Guests select a timed entry window of 6-8 p.m. or 8-10 p.m.; children ages 5 and under do not require a ticket, and guests must be in line by 9:30 p.m. to enjoy the full experience. The event is rain or shine and fully ADA accessible. The Austin Convention Center garage at 601 E. 5th Street offers $5 parking from 4 to 10 p.m. each night of the show.
