This year, families in town have their own unofficial showcase to check out — the Family Music Meltdown at the Thinkery, Austin’s new children’s museum. All ages are welcome, and it’s free!

The showcase will take place at the Thinkery’s events courtyard, and parking is also free (while it lasts) in the garage behind the museum.Wednesday nights at the Thinkery are community night, where admission is by donation, so it’s a great time to check out the all the amazing programs, exhibits, and activities your kids will love.

Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child is a family music record label and nationally syndicated radio show for kids and their grownups produced in Austin, Texas. The Orange Wall Collective is an Austin-based collaborative effort between Free Fun in Austin and LiveMom.com to bridge the gap between bloggers and brands. Clamorhouse Kids is a management and events company featuring stories and songs for a young century.

Sponsored by KidOShoe, Terra Toys, NeedTo.com, Free Fun in Austin, LiveMom.com, and Music Bats. Special thanks to 89.3 The Current and Wonderground Radio.
