The outdoor event is part of a week-long celebration of the arts in Austin. Over 190 artists from around the U.S. were selected by a panel of jurors to come to Austin. These accomplished independent and emerging artists present rousing art for every budget and taste.

The immensely popular festival is expected to draw more than 20,000 patrons.
