Every spring, we throw our favorite kind of party: South by San José. Hosted right here in our lot with Jo’s Coffee, it’s a free, all-ages celebration featuring live music, local vendors and the unmistakable energy of South Congress. We've been keeping this Austin tradition alive since 2000.

Just steps from downtown and close to local landmarks like Barton Springs and Zilker Park, our stretch of South Congress has long been a crossroads for travelers and locals alike.
