The 23rd Austin City Limits Music Festival is set to take place at Zilker Park on October 4–6 and October 11–13. The City of Austin anticipates welcoming music fans from across the country for these two weekends.
Ahead of the festival, attendees are advised to review guidance from the City of Austin to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Several city departments will be involved in the event:
– Austin Parks & Recreation Department (PARD)
– Austin Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW)
– Austin Police Department (APD)
– Austin Fire Department (AFD)
– Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS)
– Austin Public Health (APH)
APH advises attendees to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, use hand sanitizer, wash hands frequently, and stay home if feeling unwell.
For communication during the festival, the City of Austin will use X and Facebook to share relevant information. The APD, ATCEMS, AFD, and Austin Emergency Management will also use their X feeds for time-sensitive notifications. ACL Fest will disseminate information through its website, Facebook, X, Instagram, and the ACL Music Fest app.
“We strive to continually update and evolve our safety and security protocols,” said representatives from ACL Fest and C3 Presents. “With this in mind, we are partnering with This Must Be the Place, an overdose prevention nonprofit who will educate music fans about the dangers of Fentanyl and supply them with the life-saving opioid reversal medicine, Naloxone.”
The festival organizers encourage attendees to visit This Must Be the Place’s booth at the event for more information.
The Austin Center for Events (ACE) plays a key role in streamlining special event permitting on public and private property. ACE includes teams from various city departments such as APH, TPW, Parks, Music, Police, Fire, EMS along with partner agencies. They work closely with event organizers throughout the permitting process.
