Visit Friends Fair 2026

Friends Fair is a home-grown hotel art fair with a mix of Austin-based and national galleries. The second floor of The Loren Lady Bird Lake will be filled with art—each gallery curates a room.

Tickets are FREE, but RSVP required
The fair is free but space is limited. We ask that you RSVP and select a check in times: noon-2pm, 2-4pm, or 4pm-close.

Finding the Fair
The Friends Fair is on the second floor of The Loren Lady Bird Lake. The hotel is on Riverside between Lee Barton and South Lamar, across from the Lady Bird Trail and the Pedestrian Bridge.

Use the Loren's Event Entrance to get to the event elevator. The event entrance is in the hotel courtyard (google map).

Friends Fair ushers and hotel staff can show you the way.

Parking
Ride-share is encouraged as there is limited neighborhood parking. The Loren offers paid valet parking.
