Hot Luck Fest Tickets

Hot Luck Fest is a one-of-a-kind annual celebration that blends culinary excellence with live music. Founded by Aaron Franklin, James Moody, and Mike Thelin, it’s described as a DIY fusion of the culinary and music worlds. The 2025 edition runs Memorial Day weekend, May 22–25, in Austin, TX, with events centered around downtown Austin and additional city venues. Tickets are available at hotluckfest.com, with Whole Enchilada passes ranging from $the best available price to $$the best available price, and many food experiences available à la carte.

As a community-driven event, Hot Luck Fest partners with the Southern Smoke Foundation to support those in need, continuing a commitment that began in 2021. Weather contingency plans ensure events proceed rain or shine, making it a reliable weekend of food, music, and fellowship.

Hot Luck Fest isn’t just about meals and sets—it’s about the experience of discovery. Expect appearances from notable bands such as White Denim and The Spits at venues like Mohawk during the festival weekend, with Al Fuego serving as the main weekend event on May 24, 2025, at Jester King Brewery. Secure your seats early for the most in-demand experiences, and follow the official channels for real-time updates and drops as the schedule takes shape.
