Twice a year twenty-four blocks of 6th Street (downtown Austin's Entertainment District Brazos to I-35) are transformed into the annual Pecan Street Festival.
Event Details
Originally crafted by the Old Pecan Street Association to help revitalize the downtown city streets and businesses, the Pecan Street Festival has been a contributing factor in the transformation and positive progression of 6th Street and its surroundings for over 30 years. As the largest arts and crafts festival in central Texas, the Festival generates an estimated 43 million dollars in economic impact annually and attracts over 200,000 attendees per show. As a non-profit charity organization, O.P.S.A. donates a large portion of Festival proceeds to the city of Austin and local non-profit organizations alike and is constantly striving to improve upon Austin’s fantastic image and way of life. It has been a long and fun road and we cannot be happier to be a part of this amazing community and city. On behalf of the Old Pecan Street Association and Special Events Live, we would like to say: THANK YOU!!!!
