Once called Pecan Street, Sixth Street is Austin’s famous address for nightlife and entertainment. For seven blocks from Congress Avenue to Interstate 35, and incorporating various cross streets, this area is a hotbed of live music, clubs, bars and restaurants.

Several festivals, including Mardi Gras Austin, the Old Pecan Street Spring and Fall Arts Festivals and the Victorian Christmas festival are held on Sixth Street.
