Austin Community College District (ACC) will host and participate in the 2026 Central Texas (CTX) Learning Festival, a five-day celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community-powered learning happening Wednesday, March 11, through Sunday, March 15.

The CTX Learning Festival is free and open to all. Events are organized by community partners across the Austin area, including ACC, and invite students, employees, families, and neighbors to explore new ideas and experiences.

ACC Events Highlight Student Voice and Experience

Throughout the week, ACC campuses will host learning experiences that showcase student work and community engagement. Topics range from student-led gallery talks and creative showcases to service-learning presentations focused on food systems, community impact, and more.

Together, these offerings reflect ACC’s commitment to experiential learning, community partnership, and amplifying student voices beyond the classroom.

Events will take place at Highland, Northridge, Rio Grande, and Riverside campuses, and select ACC leadership will facilitate sessions across the greater Austin community. View the comprehensive list of ACC-affiliated events at the CTXLF here.
