Pecan Street Festival
37th Annual Fall Festival
September 19th & 20th, 2020
Produced by the Pecan Street Association, a 501c4
Now in our 43rd year of the Pecan Street Festival (“PSF”) — with 42 spring fests and 39 fall fests – PLUS our online Pecan Fest Wired substitution for our 2020 Spring fest – under our belt; we plan on bringing Texans our second virtual festival on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19th & 20th, 2020 (11am-10pm Sat./11am-8pm Sun.). See the June 30th announcement.
The PSF is the largest, and longest-running, of Texas’ arts/crafts and music festivals. It draws nearly 300 local and national arts, crafts and food vendors, +/-50 musical acts and a quarter-million attendees during the weekend. PSF is also FREE; the ONLY large-scale festival around that can boast this!
The Pecan Street Association (“PSA”), the non-profit behind the festival, gives back to the community via donations to local non-profits and historical education/preservation of Pecan Street (aka Sixth St.).
