Urban Music Festival
Austin, Texas


When: early April [check for this year's dates]

Where: Auditorium Shores at 950 W. Riverside Drive in Austin

Taking the Live Music Capital of the World by storm in its 2006 debut, the Urban Music Festival offers both an aural homage to African-American music legends and a launching pad for future funk, hip hop and R&B chart-toppers. Held in conjunction with the Texas Relays Weekend, hop aboard the Capital Metro bus for a trip to Auditorium Shores on Town Lake and enjoy a soiree with soul.

Shopping and Food: A stroll past the concession booths is an epicurean odyssey featuring tempting Tex-Mex cuisine, New Orleans-style po' boys, southern-fried catfish and the all-American classic combo, hamburgers and french fries. After satisfying your appetite, feast your eyes on the artwork, jewelry, garments, and accessories for sell in the Urban Marketplace. For a unique souvenir of the day, pose for a sketch from a caricaturist or capture your smile for posterity in a photo booth.

Children's activities: This family-friendly event provides entertainment for every age group. Little ones can bop to the beat of children's tunes at KidCiti, an interactive area which will also feature art projects and games and offers a take-home tote containing snacks to nourish the body and music and art supplies to nourish the spirit.
