Huge thank you to the 1,500 Austinites who joined us at the Waller Creek Picnic! During this special pop-up event, we celebrated the future of Waller Creek with our community, sharing good food, while enjoying the sunset! This year, we welcomed the largest crowd ever at Palm Park and sold a record-breaking number of baskets. Thank you, Austin!
This annual tradition would not be possible without the generosity of our wonderful sponsors and participating local restaurants. Every year, you make this an unforgettable experience!
Special thank you to our incredible host committee for your time, talents, and passion for Waller Creek.
