Timeline of Annual Events in Austin Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce

Timeline Of Annual Events In Austin by newsdesk Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce festival : The world's largest hot sauce festival takes place right here in Austin. Some 300 homemade and restaurant-served versions are judged by local chefs and food critics, while commercially bottled varieties are voted on by festival attendees. By the end of the day, folks have consumed hundreds of gallons of salsa, not to mention vast quantities of beer and Tex-Mex food from local establishments. Austin City Limits Music Festival : Austin City Limits, the long-running, much-praised live music program on public television, captures the spirit of the Austin music scene like no other. And while it once primarily hosted country performers, today's lineup includes something from virtually every genre. From local singer-songwriters to internationally known artists, the festival features about 130 performances on eight stages, along with tons of food, drink, children's activities, and arts and crafts vendors. Austin Finearts Festival : This is probably the finest arts and crafts festival in the state. Held in downtown Austin at Republic Square Park, this juried event features top artists from all over the country. Other highlights include a full schedule of music, lots of food, art activities, face painting, storytelling, and demonstrations. Cinco De mayo Music Festival : This annual May 5th celebration commemorates Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza's defeat of French Emperor Louis Napoleon at Puebla in 1862. Events are held not only at Fiesta Gardens but also at the State Capitol rotunda. A plethora of food and drink is on hand, as well as traditional mariachi bands, popular regional musicians, folk dancers, a carnival, mechanical bull riding, contests, bungee jumping, and plenty of other fun activities. Spamarama : SPAM, the canned, spiced ham that comes in an unmistakable pink block has a festival built around it in Austin. The event premiered in the late 1970s, and it annually attracts thousands of folks on a weekend near the beginning of April. The focus of SPAMARAMA is a cook-off where amateurs and professionals compete for best and worst dishes and for showmanship. Other activities at the festival include an eating contest, athletic events, and even a SPAM calling contest. YTail of Lights Festival : During the last two weeks of December, the southern banks of Zilker Park become a wonderland of lights. This nighttime Christmas pageant has become so popular that the city has been forced to eliminate drive-through traffic. Now the shimmering displays, in varying yuletide themes, can be enjoyed only by foot or on bike. Timeline Of Annual Events In Austin by newsdesk.

It is not uncommon for posters Visual imagery has played a part in the promotion designed on computers and offered as signed and and presentation of rock music for about as long as numbered limited-edition screen prints by today’s most rock and roll has been around. Concert posters and popular rock artists to fetch almost as much as vintage handbills, print ads, wardrobe and stage sets, album posters from the ‘60s. covers, box sets and other packaging all play a part in fashioning a recognizable identity for a band and generating interest in both product and live performances. This article will focus predominantly on posters, and some of the legal issues associated with their creation and commodification. A powerful poster is capable of not only publicizing an upcoming concert but also, in exceptional cases, of taking on a life of its own as an iconic commemorative trophy. Since at least the 1960s some rock and roll posters have been considered works of art in their own right, not unlike the 19th Century posters of Chéret and Toulouse-Lautrec. Only lately, however, have the legal issues raised by this method of advertising begun to generate much interest.
