Venue
For the first time in our 6 year history Austin Psych Fest will be held at a completely outdoor venue where camping will be available. Carson Creek Ranch is a scenic 58 acre ranch nestled on the banks of the Colorado River just five minutes from downtown Austin, TX and Bergstrom Int’l airport.
Click the images above to find out more about the ranch.
There will on-site camping and three stages with music – the main stage and river stage with psychedelic light shows in the evening, and a tent stage featuring psychedelic light shows all day long.
The fest supports local businesses with its hand-picked food, retail, clothing, and record store vendors. There will also be multi-media installations and art exhibits by talented artists.
We look forward to presenting the festival in a beautiful, natural environment, and to create the best sound, lighting and overall festival experience yet.
