Splash Days

Don't miss out on Texas's wildest party with a weekend full of DJs, dances, drink specials and, you guessed it, getting wet!

What: Splash Days is a Labor Day weekend party raising funds from the LGBT community in Texas. The biggest event of the weekend, naturally, is the Splash Party. The kicker is that it takes place in the nudist-friendly park Hippy Hollow, which subsequently fills up with party barges. Over the years, the Splash Party has morphed into a weekend-long fête with parties all over the city.

Who: The dance parties and pool parties have a luminous lineup of DJs and drag queens.

Where: While the bulk of the event is in Hippy Hollow, there's also an assortment of soirées in local haunts including the Iron Bear, Austin Eagle, and the Hilton Canopy Hotel.
