What Is Texas Monthly BBQ Fest?

The tenth annual BBQ fest occurs on Nov. 2 and 3 in Austin. Texas Monthly invites the top 50 BBQ joints in Texas to the event. So, you will have the opportunity to try the best of the best BBQ without traveling all over the place!

A ticket gets you free samples of BBQ, sides, and desserts from all participating joints. Check out the BBQ fest lineup to see what BBQ you can sample. Be warned that it’s while supplies last – you may want to head there early for a chance to try it all.

What’s BBQ without cold drinks, desserts, and music? All that will be on hand. The Suffers and Austin’s own Al Dressen’s BBQ Playboys will provide the entertainment. Enjoy the sounds of western swing from Al Dressen’s BBQ Playboys. The band has been around since 1982 and will remind you of the Texas Playboys. The band will have you swingin’ in no time.

The Suffers are an award-winning eight-piece ensemble from Houston that specializes in Gulf Coast Soul. They’ve played more than 300 shows around North America and their first TV appearance was on Late Show With David Letterman. Since then, they’ve performed at The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Before You Go to Austin for the BBQ Fest

The first thing you want to know is that daylight saving time begins the night before the BBQ. Be sure to set your alarm back one hour to ensure you arrive on time. VIP doors open at noon and general admission at 1 pm. The event, held at the Long Center for Performing Arts (701 W. Riverside Drive, Austin, TX 78704), runs until 4 pm.

Beware that all bags are subject to search. Coolers, storage containers, and guns are not allowed on the property. Any food not purchased at the event cannot enter the building. You can park in the Palmer Events Center Parking Garage (900 Barton Springs Rd.). It’s open on a first-come, first-serve basis and costs $8 per vehicle. You’ll pay at the booth as you enter the garage.

Other parking spaces include One Texas Center Garage (505 Barton Springs Rd.) and Austin City Hall Parking Garage (301 W. 2nd St.). Accessible parking is available at the Palmer Events Center Parking Garage.

If it rains, the show will go on! Kids are welcome, but there are no kid-friendly activities. The only animals permitted are service animals.

All this talk of BBQ is making us hungry. What are your favorite BBQ joints near Dripping Springs? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook.

Austin City Limits Music Festival

One of the coolest things about living in a community in Kyle, Texas, is that you’re only 30 minutes away from one of the most awesome music festivals in the country: Austin City Limits Music Festival that takes place every year in Austin’s Zilker Park. More than 225,000 fans attend and have a choice of a lineup with more than 100 performers. It occurs over two weekends in October.

About the ACL Music Festival

This year’s festival is Oct. 4 – 6 and Oct. 11 – 13. Attendees can savor an array of acts across eight stages. This year’s ACL lineup includes Guns N’ Roses, Cardi B, Mumford and Sons, Kacey Musgraves, and many more. Just make sure you’re not Still Woozy or else you may fall Asleep at the Wheel. That’s our cheesy way of working in two more bands.

Here are the interactive Weekend One Schedule and Weekend Two Schedule. You can use MyFest to create favorites, compare with friends, and get more features for managing your schedule. You can also download the schedules as a PDF file.

While there are lodging options, Kyle residents can save on lodging by driving there. Use the money you save toward ACL Eats! Austin is known for is food, so count on delicious local bites that include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Looking at the food lineup is causing some loud stomach rumblings as we write this.

When you want to take a break from music, you can explore other areas of the park that will relax and recharge you. And yes, the little ones aged 10 and under get in Austin Kiddie Limits free with their parents. ACL has thought of everything as there’s a separate entrance to the kid-friendly area and it has stroller-friendly lanes at the main gates.

Preparing to Attend the ACL Music Festival

We strongly recommend you read the festival frequently asked questions. It has all the answers and tips you need. The most important thing is to come prepared based on these ACL safety tips. For example, the festival has hydration water refill stations. You can refill your empty water bottle (be sure to bring it!) at these cool, filtered water and cooling stations located all around the venue.

Bring and apply sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen often. Did we say sunscreen? Protect those ears with earplugs. The music gets LOUD. The festival also has a bag policy, so check that out and do review the allowed and prohibited items list. It has certain types of jewelry on the list and innocent things like frisbees. They probably don’t want someone to get bonked on the head.

Many Kyle residents attend ACL every year. That’s one of the best parts about living in this town. They enjoy a quieter lifestyle without the hubbub of a city Yet, they’re close enough to Austin to drive to the music festival without needing to find lodging. Not here yet but want to be? Check out the new homes in Kyle.
