Event History 

What began in the early 1980s as a small Capitol rotunda sing-along led by beloved KUT radio host John Aielli has grown into one of Austin’s most cherished holiday traditions. As the event’s popularity soared, the sing-along moved to the south steps of the Texas State Capitol, where thousands of Austinites now gather each year to lift their voices in festive carols before counting down to the lighting of a dazzling, 40-foot holiday tree on Congress Avenue.

In the mid-1990s, the Downtown Austin Alliance joined forces with KUT and KUTX to expand the celebration into a full Downtown Stroll, transforming Congress Avenue into a winter wonderland of local vendors, live music, and family-friendly activities. Today—more than three decades later—the Holiday Sing-Along & Stroll remains the official kickoff to the downtown holiday season, bringing the community together to celebrate the spirit of Austin through music, light, and local creativity.
