About BRAVE Fest!

Event
Come join the 2nd Annual BRAVE Fest! A community celebration of love, diversity, inclusion, and multi-culturalism in Austin, Texas! Enjoy local artists and organizations on February 10th, 2-8PM, as we come together to celebrate Valentine's Day, Lunar New Year (Year of the Pig), Constitution Day (Mexico), and Black History Month.

This is a family-friendly event and we are excited to celebrate our community! Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. There will be representation from local artists, food and shop vendors, and non-profit organizations that align with the passion and purpose to strive for equity, inclusion, and justice. #MakeATXBRAVE
