The Austin Meatball Festival is one part culinary and one part musical. Witness (and taste) the ultimate meatball competition in which restaurants prepare their finest meatball concoctions, from traditional and non-traditional, to meatball sandwiches and sliders. Competing restaurants include Winflo Osteria, Benji's Cantina, Native Family, Marye’s Pizza, Freedmen's, NO VA Kitchen, Gusto, Cru Wine Bar, Cipollina, Punch Bowl Social, The Carillon and more. You can also enjoy music from Jimmy La Fave, Tameka Jones and Rocketboys.

Proceeds from the festival go to LifeWorks, an organization dedicated to helping homeless youths.
