Austin String Band Festival 2026

The 19th Annual Austin String Band Festival is the weekend of October 16 - 18, 2026 at Camp Ben McCulloch in nearby Driftwood, TX. Join us for a weekend of music, camping, jamming, dancing, and friends! See https://aftm.us/2026-austin-string-band-festival/ for full festival details.

Once you've selected your tickets, you can then add camping for either an RV/Trailer or a tent site. Each night of camping must be paid for. If you are staying the whole weekend, please add camping options for both Friday and Saturday. Multiple people may stay in a site, as long as they are in the same RV/Trailer or tent -- only one person will need to purchase the shared camping option.

AFTM Members get discounted festival passes. Active members will receive an email with a discount code. Check your membership or sign-up at https://app.joinit.com/o/aftm. If you have membership questions, or to get your discount code, send a message to membership@aftm.us.

Volunteering: You can sign up to volunteer at https://go.tallycal.com/p/asbf2026. We need your help! Volunteers for PRIME slots get a free weekend pass. Volunteers for regular slots get either 50% off a weekend pass, or a free day pass (your choice). Work two regular slots for a weekend pass! There's no need to purchase your free pass here -- we'll have your name at the gate. Camping is extra. Email volunteer@aftm.us if you have questions or need help.

Tickets are non-refundable. This is a rain or shine event.

Kids under 15 get in free with an adult!
