Time: 11a-8p

Location: Auditorium Shores, Austin

What: 2^nd annual Trailer Food Festival

Web: www.gypsypicnic.com
Benefitting the Sustainable Food Center

FREE ADMISSION! Come on down!

I met with C3 Presents in May of 2010 about an idea to turn this very blog into a festival for Austinites.  By November of that year, we had attracted nearly 20,000 people and 30 trailers down to the first annual Gypsy Picnic trailer food festival.  We are serving up another helping at the second annual Gypsy Picnic held this coming weekend. We have made a few changes to expand the park (but hopefully not your girlish figure), which entails more space, more trailers, more stages and more fun.  Auditorium Shores is a dog park by nature, and that won't change for the festival.  Bring you dogs, just please be courteous of other festival goers and have something on hand to clean up.  Here are some of the details: 

TRANSPORTATION: 

• Carless:  Walk/Jog on the hike and bike trail, take your bike (Mellow Johnny's will be there), take a cab or pedi-cab, or ride the Capitol Metro.
• Parking a car: C3 has put together a list of five area parking garages.  They aren't free, but the festival is! 

MUSIC SCHEDULE:

• 11:50-12:30: BOY
• 1:15-2:15: Alabama Shakes
• 3:00-4:00: Dale Watson
• 4:45-5:45: Hacienda
• 6:30-8:00: Delta Spirit
