Haven’t enjoyed an Austin office party yet? Here are 10 reasons why you’ll want to host an office party in Austin.
1. Austin Keeps It Weird
Even if you aren’t into the whole “weird” concept, everyone can appreciate having the freedom to let their hair down and be themselves. In terms of party planning, the keep it weird mindset means all themes are on the table. People even get creative with our casino party theme by making it hyper specific or adding their own unique twist.
2. Tons of Transportation Options
The last thing you want is for an employee to indulge a little too much at the party and get into an accident or worse. In Austin you have numerous transportation options since the city has invested heavily in public transport. Buses run at all hours of the night and the light rail provides another way to get around from downtown. If guests need to go a short distance downtown a fleet of pedicabs is ready and waiting. Uber and Lyft are also back in action, giving Austinites even more ways to get home safely.
3. Plenty of Fun Places to Celebrate
Where the office party is held has a huge impact on the experience. In Austin there’s an abundance of fun party venues to choose from both outdoors and indoors. It’s one of the few places where you can host an office party in a tucked away sculpture garden, a century-old pecan grove or a revamped power plant.
4. We Love the Holidays - All of Them
If there’s a holiday happening somewhere in the world, there’s a good chance people are celebrating it in Austin. Even made up holidays like Eeyore’s Birthday warrant a festival. This is partly due to the fact that Austinites are an eclectic mix of people, and partly because we love having a reason to dress up in specialized attire and use festive decorations.
5. Wildly Fun Entertainment Options
Austin is a city of performers and not just musicians. On any given night you can go see aerial dancers, live art sessions, contortionists or hula hoop jugglers. There are even corporate magicians (that’s their official job title). Of course, if you want to stick to musical entertainment you’ll be able to find every type of sound imaginable, including musical stylings from a band of zombies.
6. Creative Catering

Chocolates with crickets, siracha and fresh lavender - we’ve got that. Farm to table fare from local food growers - party guests can nosh on that.
