For those of us who remain in the city, it's a fantastic time to explore, to take advantage of the lighter crowds and slightly less infuriating traffic and hunt down new experiences. Want to make this your best Austin summer ever? Our team has suggestions for events, bites and sites to experience.

After correctly divining a handful of this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival artists in a previous "crystal ball gazing" piece — we're still patting ourselves on the back about Doechii — we're now digging into the actual lineup. ACL Fest returns to Zilker Park October 3-5 and 10-12, promising two weekends of live music. There are 10 acts we're already buzzing about — from the indie sleaze swagger of The Strokes to the infectious perreo of Feid. But not every beat drops the same.

October in Austin usually means two things: relatively temperate weather for outdoor music and an annual pilgrimage to Zilker Park for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The two-weekend extravaganza takes place October 3-5 and 10-12. Keep your eyes peeled and your browser refreshed — we're expecting the lineup to drop sometime in early May, and tickets generally go on sale at the official Austin City Limits website at the same time. As the countdown begins, the air crackles with anticipation.

The annual pilgrimage to the psychedelic haven known as Austin Psych Fest wrapped up this weekend at the Far Out Lounge, leaving behind a swirling vortex of trippy sounds, fluorescent visuals and a distinct aroma that grew more … earthy as the temperatures climbed. Let's just say, the free-flowing vibes weren't the only things in the air, folks. (A friendly reminder from your trusty correspondents: deodorant is your friend, especially when surrounded by throngs embracing the far-out).

From living legend Paul Simon to the brat boss Charli xcx, there's something for everyone in this mixed bag of 16 big ticket shows coming to town.
