It's that time of the year to get your weird on and have some fun. Pull out
your costumes and come be a part of Austin's funky version of a city-wide
country picnic. Of, by, and for the community. Always a good time. The 2nd
longest-running event in Austin, one of the few FREE events, and one of the few
left in the US that isn't sponsored by some mega-beer-corp, AND all proceeds go
back into the Austin community through donations to local non-profits that make
a difference -- an eclectic day of affordable fun and zaniness that benefits
Austin.
