Austin, TX
The Austin Food & Wine Festival returns to Auditorium Shores from November 7–9, marking its 14th year as one of the city’s defining culinary events. Set against the backdrop of Lady Bird Lake and the downtown skyline, the three-day gathering brings together chefs, artisans, and food lovers in a celebration that reflects Austin’s relaxed but inventive spirit.
The 2025 lineup features more than 50 chefs and restaurants, with appearances by nationally recognized figures such as Tiffani Faison, Fabio Viviani, and Tiffany Derry, alongside some of Austin’s most respected local talent. Programming includes cooking demonstrations, tasting sessions, and the festival’s signature hands-on grilling experience led by chef Tim Love.
The weekend begins with the “Made in Texas” event, a casual tailgate-style gathering celebrating the state’s food and drink culture. Chefs, distillers, brewers, and small-batch producers share their products, and guests can enjoy bites, drinks, and live music.

Auditorium Shores remains an integral part of the experience. The open-air setting encourages a slower pace, more discovery than itinerary, with the skyline and the park’s greenery framing the activity. It’s an atmosphere that feels distinctly Austin: casual, creative, and connected to place.
The Austin Food & Wine Festival continues to mirror the city’s food scene itself—busy, evolving, and grounded in a sense of community. Learn more about the event at AustinFoodandWineFestival.com.
