AUSTIN, WE’RE BLACK OUTSIDE.
Black Outside Fest returns October 24.
Black Outside Fest is taking over the Millennium for a full day celebrating Black creativity, culture and community.
Come shop. Eat. Skate. Bowl. Catch a film. Create with us.
Saturday, October 24, 2026 • 12 - 6 pm • George Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex • Austin, TX 78702
This event is funded in part by Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment (ACME).
THIS IS MORE THAN A MARKET.
Black Outside Fest is a celebration of the things we create, the stories we carry and the culture we continue to build.
Throughout the Millennium, you’ll discover Black Makers and artists alongside music, food, film, movement, and experiences created by our Makers and partners.
This isn't a festival you just walk through. You come to be part of the experience.
Admission is FREE, but registration is required.
A suggested $10 donation helps us support Black artists, creatives and cultural programming while keeping Black Outside accessible to the community.

MEET OUR MAKERS.
The market is still at the heart of Black Outside.
Meet the people making things right here in our community — artists, designers, growers, foodmakers, authors, creatives and entrepreneurs building businesses and leaving something behind.
Because what we create today tells somebody tomorrow who we were. What we made. What we grew. What we wore. How we ate. What we believed was worth building.
FREE + OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY
