About this project
Keep Austin FREE!
FREE in Austin started in 2009 as a simple list, my way of sharing the best no-cost things to do in a city that already knew exactly who it was.
Austin had an identity. A strong one. Community, creativity, live music, the outdoors, and a culture of showing up for each other, all without spending a dime. That was not something the city was working toward. It was already here.
Then came the boom. Prices went up. Crowds rolled in. A lot of what made Austin, Austin, got priced out, paved over, or drowned out.
But not everything.
The trails are here. The libraries are here. The community events, the free stages, the music spilling out of open doors, all here. FREE in Austin exists to make sure people can find all of it, no matter what their budget looks like.
I'm Myria FREE, an Austin local since before the boom. This is my commitment to the city that raised me.
