Austin Reggae Fest 2022

The Austin Reggae Festival is back in 2022!

 

Scheduled Friday, April 22 through Sunday, April 24, the Austin Reggae Festival returns to an in-person experience in 2022. This longtime event brings together top dub bands from around the world, and also showcases a variety of international food booths and unique arts-and-craft vendors.

We’re incredibly excited to be back celebrating the power of community at the city’s best outdoor venue, Auditorium Shores at Town Lake Metropolitan Park.

We’re also incredibly excited to continue to support the Central Texas Food Bank in their mission to feed thousands of our hungry families in Travis County and other surrounding regions. This neighbor-helping-neighbor mission has grown even more important as a result of the pandemic.
