For over a decade, First Thursday has been a tradition deeply rooted in Austin’s DNA. The closure of First Thursday at South Congress Hotel on May 7th truly marks the end of an era. But not the end of the tradition.

Moving forward, King Louie, Trenton and the original First Thursday team in collaboration with Housewives, and ILAQA are heading to Rainey Street!

Hotel Van Zandt and Bar Fino become the epicenter of the continuation of the original First Thursday, with a party spanning an entire city block on Rainey to Bungalow, Augustines, Lucille's, Victory Lap, Bar Fino, Electric Shuffle, Bar Hacienda and more.
