News from the Promoter...

So people ask me everything you can imagine about Austin Kids Day, and all of the answers I provide are based on one consistent origin, and that is my love and passion for music and the experiences that festivals bring with that. I want to provide an atmosphere for families to enjoy everything from live music to good food and entertainment.

Festivals that are based on good vibes and positive creation create overwhelming experiences for the people who attend them, and anyone who lives in Austin knows about good music... and you've probably traveled a long distance to see some of your favorite bands over the years. Maybe you met your wife or became best friends with someone you never would have otherwise known. Now imagine getting to do that when your 2! That's why there's Austin Kids Day- it's for any "kid" ages 2 to 102! It's YOUR day, so come out and be a kid!

Have you ever been at a festival in the summer and just thought, "Man! I would give anything for a nice padded chair and some good 'ole air conditioning!" Well, if you've ever been to a festival in Texas in the summer then you've definitely said that before! Luckily for you we already thought ahead and at Austin Kids Day you get to go indoors for the main acts! You will get to see 3 awesome performances in the nice air-conditioned theater at the immaculate Riverbend Centre! And folks, if you haven't been here before you are in for a treat! It is gonna be awesome! Another great thing about having the show indoors is that the artists get to pull out all the props and fun surprises so you won't catch a show like any other seen before at Austin Kids Day! And when you are outside, don't worry bout the heat down at Shady Grove, I hear there are misting fans over there...

Everyone's invited and bring a friend, so come do it all- bring 10 cans to donate to the Kids Cafe and get a cool Austin Kids Day Poster, enter the rockstar & fairytale princess dress-up contest, enter the Guitar Hero Tournament for your chance to win your own private Video Game Theater Party brought to you by Games2U, check out great Austin live music by Joe McDermott & The Little Creatures, Austin's very own Rockstar Princess- Aunty E & The Friends, and The Biscuit Brothers. Don't worry about coming hungry because El Arroyo & Out There Cooking are gonna be serving up breakfast & lunch all day and get your health fix on at Maui Wowi & Genesis Boost! Oh yeah, and I can't forget about the parents- come chill out on the deck in the shade, get some great food, go shopping- it's OK cause its Saturday AND its YOUR Day, you won't want to pass up the local vendors, arts, crafts, apparel, and more! Sounds like fun, I'm in! The count-down begins...will you attend? Better buy your tickets now...
