Latino Moonlight Serenades

Join us for one of Austin’s best events as we float on kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards to a quiet area on the lake to enjoy live Latino serenades by local musicians. It’s a charming event on a full-moon night with a view of downtown Austin, Texas. This event is kid-friendly and dog-friendly.

Advanced reservations must be made to ensure the boat of your choice. Walk-ups are welcomed and helped on a first-come first-served basis.

Weather permitting, the 2025 Latino Moonlight Serenades will be on THURSDAYS. We will begin checking for participants at 6:15PM and launch promptly at 7:00PM on the dates below. Late arriving guests may join the event in progress. In the case of rainouts, you will automatically be registered for the following month.
