On August 28th, 2014, the city council unanimously approved the creation of The Festival Beach Food Forest (FBFF). This will be a fence-free edible Eden on 2 acres of park land, where all are welcome to learn about food forestry and experience the beauty of an edible oasis in the heart of Austin. In celebration of our groundbreaking, we are hosting a kick-off benefit party that will include the following local musicians; Los Texas Wranglers, Wiretree, Graham Wilkinson, Honey Punch, Full Moon Medicine, Jimony, DJ Bildeaux, Super Smash Bros. and The Lost Pines. Dessert from Little Lucy’s and beverages by Meridian Hive, East Ciders, and more. Festival Beach Food Forest Launch Party

#2: Rain...
There's a chance of rain... Hooray! We're actually still in a drought y'all. Come dance and move in the rain! We'll celebrate the way it moves life to and through us!
That said - it'd be nice to have a few more tents for our generous community! Have a tent, folding chairs or tables just waiting to be shared? If you can contribute, please email Brianna @merrill.brianna@gmail.com so we can get a count together. In exchange, you'll receive a free ticket and a hug!
#3: People Power!
Can't donate $30 bucks but would love to donate your time? Want to invest $30 and still help us watch over the pies or help folks park? We could use able bodies to volunteer for a number of positions. It's going to be a fun team! We would gladly give you an entry ticket in for your help.
