A lot has changed in the Pecan Street Festival’s 50 years – but the family-friendly fest stands strong. Even on a different road, the festivities are free to all, featuring arts and crafts from local makers and food and drink from Austin-area restaurants, brewers, and more. It wouldn’t be a party in the Live Music Capital without, well, live music. Funk, rock, and country can all be found, with headlining performances by the BROSFRESH and Jo James. The promise of a street festival is something for everyone, and Pecan Street delivers, no matter where it is. – Caroline Drew
