Birthday Bash returns to Republic Square
Friday, July 30, 2021 by Tai Moses
The Downtown Austin Alliance Foundation will host the fourth annual Austin’s Birthday Bash, a commemoration of the day Austin was officially founded as a city 182 years ago. The community celebration features live music curated and headlined by singer SaulPaul and Friends; complimentary creative kits for kids, including coloring pages by artist Lakeem Wilson; food and drink by Salt & Time Café; and the Austin debut of the Passion Flower, a functional art piece created by Edward Balassanian for the 2019 Burning Man festival. While the event will be in person, social distancing will be observed and it is recommended that festivalgoers follow the CDC guidance on face masks.
