"Located at 900 West Riverside Drive in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood, this park is the usual site for the Austin Food & Wine Festival — one of the city’s biggest food events — and will host the festival again from Saturday, November 4 through Sunday, November 5. The weekend typically features a main outdoor tasting where Texas restaurants offer bites, wineries and drink companies provide samples, chefs cook and share food from fire pits, and nationally recognized chefs lead cooking demonstrations; auxiliary programming usually includes competitions such as the Rock Your Taco contest and additional dinners and brunches. The festival, produced by Food & Wine magazine and C3 Presents, is in its 12th year (originally held each April since 2012, moved to November in 2021 and canceled in 2016 and 2020), with the chef lineup to be announced on Thursday, August 24 and presale tickets available to code-holders starting Tuesday, August 22 at 10 a.m.; typical ticket types include weekend, VIP and single-day passes, with prices TBA." - Nadia Chaudhury
