Since its inception in 2021, Field Guide Festival has remained dedicated to celebrating the Central Texas food system, promoting sustainable practices, and strengthening connections between chefs, farmers and the community.

Austinites are constantly presented with restaurant narratives about local food, but one festival actually connects foodies and producers. Field Guide Festival is connecting guests with farms, allied chefs, and more from April 25-27.

The Field Guide Festival returns to Austin for a fourth year of farm-to-table dining that celebrates bonds between local agriculture and restaurants.

Recognized for its celebration of the food system, the festival invites attendees to connect with local farmers and chefs, savor flavorful seasonal dishes, stay informed about current food trends, and contribute to the community.

Chefs and local food growers will take to East Austin in April to showcase what the regional food ecosystem offers.

This walk-and-taste experience is one of a growing category of similar events, but it sets itself apart with a unique concept: pairing chefs and food producers to create micro-dishes that are as illuminating of our food system as they are tasty.

A "food systems festival," the inaugural Field Guide Festival (Oct. 29-30) explores the connections between farmers, chefs, activists, and everyone in between.
