Central Presbyterian Church is pleased to offer the use of our sanctuary, reception hall (Smoot Hall), courtyard, and other spaces for a wide range of events, extending this opportunity to both members of our congregation and members of the broader Austin community. We are even a yearly host and partner to Austin’s own South by Southwest Festival! Let us celebrate your music showcases, weddings, art shows, concert line-ups, festivals, film screenings, and other gatherings in our historic spaces with you. The sky’s the limit! In opening our doors, we affirm our commitment to supporting local artistic, cultural, educational, and community-based organizations. This practice is a vital expression of our ongoing mission to serve and engage with the greater Austin area in meaningful and inclusive ways.
