“Our ‘LIVE at the Trail’ program is geared towards celebrating the vibrant Austin music scene,” said Rachel Green, president-elect of the Trail of Lights Foundation. “Not only are we thrilled to have great showcase headliners, but we have paired headliners with an under-18 year old act for mentorship and experience. We want live music to be accessible to everyone, so on our free nights, and our $3 nights, musical entertainment will be a noteworthy part of the Trail.”
The Trail also recently announced “Night Lights,” the fifth annual preview party benefiting the Trail of Lights Foundation on Saturday, Dec. 8 from 6-10 p.m. Austin Trail of Lights’ annual Night Lights Preview Party is an exclusive fundraising event kicking off the Austin Trail of Lights season.
