The Front Market’s Fall 2025 Season is held rain or shine on November 22 and 23 from 11 AM to 5 PM CT each day at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park, located at 1401 Trinity St, Austin 78701. Scroll for more details.

ABOUT OUR VENUE

Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park is part of Waterloo Greenway Conservancy, a 1.5-mile park system with the power to bring the entire Austin community together. Amid epic gardens and rolling pathways, and a twinkling Waller Creek that links them, the environment, arts, health, and adventure will converge — and nourish authentic and uplifting experiences that reflect our city’s diversity.

Waterloo Greenway Conservancy is a non-profit organization whose mission is to create and maintain an extraordinary urban park system and a restored Waller Creek, in partnership with the City of Austin, for the benefit of all. The Conservancy renews the natural environment, promotes play, health and wellness, economic vitality and mobility, and engages the community through outreach, education, cultural events and the arts.
