Good Vibes from Music Lovers Helping End Hunger

Apr05
We’ve barely recovered from SXSW and it’s already time for Austin’s next big music festival of the spring: the 2014 Austin Reggae Festival.

Now entering its 21st year, the festival is enjoying the fresh digs of Butler Park while Auditorium Shores is under construction and will feature the same blend of reggae, dub, soul, ska and dance-hall music that have made the event popular. Food and craft vendors round out the three-day festival and a portion of ticket sales benefit us here at the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas.

We’re looking forward to making an even bigger impact in 2014, but we need your help. Schedule your online shift now, and enjoy one of Austin's iconic festivals while giving back to your community.

Over the past two decades Reggae Fest has raised over a million dollars to help fight hunger in Central Texas, but that wouldn't be possible without our wonderful volunteers. Last year 400 of you gave your time and helped us raise 630,000 meals, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thanks to your hard work, this festival is our Number 1 fundraising event of the year.
