KUT Events

Reading season never ends, but it often does pick up during the holidays. Come wax poetic about the best things you read this year and find a new book to take home and cozy up with.

Kick off the holiday season with KUT News, KUTX 98.9 and the Downtown Austin Alliance at the annual Holiday Sing-Along, Tree Lighting and Downtown Stroll. From 3 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 7, in downtown Austin. This family friendly event is free!

Join us Sunday, Nov. 24, at Rivian Austin for a scenic run club before the holidays get into full swing.
