Tones Fest 2026 at Austin Asian American Resource Center

The City of Austin’s Asian American Resource Center hosts Tones Fest on Saturday, August 15, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 8401 Cameron Road. Organizers call this the fifth and final edition of the all-azn creatives and makers fest. Entry is free and open to the public; RSVP is encouraged on the AARC calendar.

Expect live music from Austin AAPI acts (Zak P, Hexpartner, and francene rouelle are listed for 2026), a craft and zine station, a makers market, snacks and chai from Austin Chai Wala, and event-exclusive swag designed by artist Quinn In while supplies last. Treat day-of stage order as truth if sets shift.

Parking and bike racks are on the AARC campus off Cameron Road north of Highland. This is a short afternoon, not a multi-stage night market, so plan it as a focused creatives stop rather than an all-day food crawl.

Later in August, GAMA Thiruvonam at Travis County Exposition Center is the bigger Malayali harvest gathering if you want a full-day Texas Onam stack.

When: August 15, 2026 (1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.)
Where: Asian American Resource Center, 8401 Cameron Road, Austin, TX

Confirm RSVP links and musician order on the AARC event calendar before you go.
