Let’s rock ‘n’ roll! Preservation Austin is amped to present our 65th Annual Preservation Merit Awards Celebration. This signature event honors the everyday Austinites dedicated to preserving our city’s heritage.
Our biggest party of the year will take place at Stubb’s amphitheater, the legendary live music venue in the heart of Austin’s Red River Cultural District. Join us for cocktails, cold beer, and classic Texas barbecue, while connecting with industry leaders and advocates as we toast another year of preservation excellence. We’re turning the festivities up to eleven with a fun musical surprise, an inspiring video program, and an electrifying energy you won’t want to miss!
Since 1960, our Preservation Merit Awards have highlighted groundbreaking preservation efforts throughout the city. All proceeds from this event support our mission to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation.
