The Experience
One weekend. Every kind of wonder.
Odyssey isn’t a concert and it isn’t a conference — it’s a living city of experiences. Chase a headliner at midnight, catch a talk that rewires how you see the world, lose the kids in a science carnival, then find them again under a sky full of drones. Come as a couple, a crew, a family or a whole company. Everyone leaves changed.

Beyond the Music
There’s wonder around every corner
Between sets, the grounds come alive. Drift through immersive art, look up at the drones, feed the whole family and make something with your hands — no wristband upgrade required.
Nightly Spectacle
The Ascension
Every night at 10pm, 1,200 synchronized drones paint a story across the Austin sky — a 12-minute original show scored live and visible from every corner of the grounds.
All ages
Live Performance
Cirque du Ciel
Aerial silk artists, acrobats and hand-balancers turn the airspace above The Grove into a nonstop, jaw-dropping performance you can wander into all weekend.
All ages
Immersive Art
The Mirror Forest
Step inside a glowing, infinite forest of mirrors and responsive light — a walk-through installation by an award-winning collective that reacts to your every move.
Walk-through
Family Zone
Wonder Lab
A hands-on science carnival built for curious minds of every age — build, launch, experiment and get gloriously messy, with a quiet sensory tent right next door.

The Culinary Mile
Forty of the region best chefs, makers and street vendors line a single glowing avenue — plus late-night bites and a natural-wine garden for the grown-ups.
Foodies
Art & Craft
Makers' Row
Watch live murals take shape, throw clay, print a poster and take home something you made — an all-weekend hands-on studio powered by local artists.

Word of Mouth
The kind of weekend people can’t stop talking about
We took forty of the team and it did more for us than any offsite ever has. People are still talking about the drone finale.
Priya Mehta

I brought my kids and my parents. Three generations, one weekend, zero complaints. That genuinely never happens.
Marcus Tran
3-year attendee
The talks alone were worth the trip — then the sun went down and it became something else entirely.
