Hello Austin people. The HONK! TX Festival is in town this weekend and you should try to get out and enjoy some of these bands. The weather should be great all weekend. Tonight’s event was Downtown at Red 7, but check their website for the rest of the festival locations. This is one of the best music festivals in Austin, in my opinion. 🙂
I wasn’t a very good MAPJAM participant today. Too much stuff going on. KUT offered up 9 great bands in 4 awesome venues, and I only caught two bands. My favorite today was Rattletree Marimba – a super fun band that “plays high energy fully acoustic music from Zimbabwe on GIANT wooden xylophones.” If you see these people in your area, be sure to check them out!
Some fun Wurstfest photos to enjoy. 🙂
My favorite band at Wurstfest was Los Texmaniacs with Alex Meixner . Check them out. They were a total blast to experience.
The Wursthalle is a miniature version of what I imagine Octoberfest in Germany is like. Rows of tables filled with professional beer drinkers and couples dancing to traditional German music. My favorite discovery was the pork chop on a stick, found in the adjacent Marktplatz.
Today’s weather sent an invitation to Wurstfest . Here is the map and a few photos so you can get the feel of the annual festival in New Braunfels. It was totally packed with festival people today.
So the Pecan Street Festival is happening this weekend on Sixth Street. As you can tell from the pictures, it was an overcast and cool day with a few sprinkles scattered in for fun. Booths, bands, food, drink, people and their pets made for an interesting day.
