It sure is. Here are some reasons why.

• in October, the Liberty Hill International Sculpture Symposium holds an event that brings together renowned sculptors from around the world to create works of art. You can visit Sculpture Park to see work created by artists from six different countries.

• the city of Austin, renowned as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” is less than an hour away by car. Austin is the go-to destination for arts, cultural events, and world-class cuisine. From Downtown Austin’s Sixth Street on over to South Congress or Rainey Street, there’s always something exciting to see or to do!
