Austin Food & Wine Festival 2024: Where and How to Eat and Drink Well | Eater Austin

"This waterfront park serves as the November host for Austin’s largest annual food festival, providing expansive daytime Chef Showcase tents, vendor booths, and communal fire-pit cooking stations that are consistently recommended as must-try stops. The grounds are heavy on wine and craft beverage offerings, with curated drink stops and an emphasis on planning your day (one demo, one drinks class, and roaming is a common strategy). The weekend culminates with a lively closing DJ set that turns the final 90 minutes into dancing and revelry; note that beverage service ends promptly at closing and safety planning for heading home is advised." - Nadia Chaudhury
