Celebrate local restaurants and farms at Sustainable Food Center's spring Garden Party!

 
Held in the beautiful gardens of Barr Mansion, you'll enjoy a unique (safe and socially distanced) entirely outdoor picnic experience featuring delicious, exclusive meals prepared by Austin's top chefs. Choose your meal from your favorite restaurant, and your picnic basket will be prepared just for you! You'll also enjoy live music, our annual Sustainable Food Changemaker Award ceremony, as well as local beer, wine, and artisan cocktails. The Garden Party also features a live and silent auction filled with exclusive items and experiences.

All proceeds support our local farmers and increase critical access to healthy, local food in Central Texas. 

 
*In the event of inclement weather or increased COVID-19 safety concerns, this event will move to a virtual experience. Meals and drinks will be provided for you to enjoy at home.
