What to pack

What October feels like

ACL runs two weekends at Zilker and the Formula One crowd arrives late in the month, so the whole city is booked out. Rain comes in bursts rather than days, and an evening outside is dependable enough that nobody bothers with a backup plan.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 6 afternoons top 90°.
