About Republic Square Park

Republic Square Park is a vibrant urban public square in the heart of downtown Austin at 422 Guadalupe St. Spanning about one acre, the park features an 18,000-square-foot Main Lawn that hosts concerts, markets, art installations, and community events. Whether you’re catching a market, an outdoor installation, or a seasonal event, this venue offers a welcoming outdoor setting with space for seated and standing audiences.

Known for events like the SFC Farmers Market Downtown, Blackbird and Las Calaveras installations, and the Oh What Fun holiday market (2025), Republic Square Park combines city energy with green space. The area has a rich history, having been renamed from Hemphill Square (1888–1976) to Republic Square, preserving the park’s footprint and community focus without demolition of the green space.

We’ve put together practical details to help you plan your visit: seating capacity, parking options, transit accessibility with CapMetro, and nearby hotel and dining choices to make your trip smooth and enjoyable.
