I was selected to participated in the Old Pecan Street Festival : September 25-26, : 11am - 10pm Sunday: 11am - 8 pm
Old Pecan Street (6th Street - between I-35 and Brazos ST) The Pecan Street Festival is a free, bi-annual juried arts and crafts festival held on 6th Street in Austin, Texas. The festival has been an Austin tradition for more than 30 years. The show features artisans from all over the United States who display and sell homemade art and craftwork. Festival goers can find paintings, sculpture, woodwork, candles, jewelry, cowboy hats, home decor, games, and other useful and whimsical household items.
Sixth Street is the heart of Austin’s live entertainment scene and the self-proclaimed live music capital of the world. It is lined with many historical houses and commercial buildings dating from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The storied old buildings now house numerous bars, a host of live entertainment venues, art galleries, casual cafes and upscale restaurants.
During the festival, Austin's famous 6th Street (originally known as Pecan Street) is closed to traffic and replaced by several blocks of art, craft, gift, food, and other vendors along with tons of pedestrians. There's live music, and plenty of entertainment for the kids.
All in all, the event is a relaxing way to spend an hour or two. It's an ideal distraction if you're in the mood for a laid back stroll or if you enjoy browsing for unique gifts for yourself or others.
