Festivals
Austin String Band Festival
It’s one of the best-kept secrets in the Austin area, a music festival with small crowds, a lovely natural setting and close-in parking.
Come discover the Austin String Band Festival out at Camp Ben McCulloch (right by the Salt Lick) in Driftwood, TX. Dance all night on Friday, then attend hands-on music and dance workshops under the trees early on Saturday, then kick back for a day and night of nonstop fiddles, banjos and guitars as more than two dozen bands take the stage. Sunday wraps it up with a gospel jam. Camping at its finest along Onion Creek.
Midwinter Festival
The AFTM Midwinter Festival is the event that started it all! It celebrates all kinds of Austin-area traditional music and dance and features performances, jams and workshops with a diverse selection of wonderful local performers.
The festival will not be held in 2020.
