Bat Fest transforms Austin’s Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge into a high-energy music festival above Lady Bird Lake. Two stages pack the span with performances across hip-hop, rock, and country, while sunset delivers the moment everyone waits for as roughly 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats burst from beneath the bridge, typically between 7:00 and 8:45 p.m.
The on-bridge experience includes a kids area, local food and drink, and around 25 arts and crafts vendors, plus a lively bat costume contest with $100 prizes for standout adult and children looks. It is Austin’s only festival staged on a bridge, making every set feel singular and city-defining.
