Austin is known for having tons of music festivals. Even when a festival isn't a "music" festival, there is still most likely live music throughout the festival. For example, the yearly Austin wine festival, or the ice cream festival. Sometimes I think all these dozens of festivals are just excuses for people to get together and listen to live music. Not that I'm complaining!
Anyway, ACL is great because it's 3 days long, features tons of great bands, and is a lot cheaper than the 5 day South by Southwest music festival. For a 3-day pass, tickets are only $135 or $150 if you manage to buy early. Regular price is $170.
The guitars you see below are usually placed strategically all over Austin. For the festival, they bring them all together at the park.

Bob Dylan, the last performance of the festival. He was pretty amazing to see live, although very old and raspy. Yes I know he's always been raspy. He was especially raspy.
