Event Details
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. With more than 300 juried artists and original artisans, three stages of live music, a wide variety of ethnic and regional food, children's workshops and more, the Pecan Street Festival has been a family tradition for thirty-three years. Festival-goers enjoy magicians, jugglers, comedians, dancers, international cuisine, carnival rides and thousands of beautiful people.
As a free, family event, the Pecan Street Festival is the largest FREE art festival in Central Texas, attracting over 300,000 people per event while generating $43 million in economic impact.
Local musicians provide entertainment on three stages, beginning at Noon and continuing into the late evening hours, and proceeds benefit local charities.
