The fun at Austin City Limits festival goes beyond the music. From incredible food to free swag, and even some special hideaways, here are some of the activations you have to check out at the fest.
ACL Fest with Tito’s
The vodka Austin raised is back at ACL Fest, adding sparkling lemonade to the GA menu and helping folks claw their way to That Tito’s Lounge. For the first time ever, snag Tito’s x ACL Fest merch and give back to HAAM with every purchase, available Saturday Oct 5th & 12th. The Tito’s Vodka claw machine is back again this year, giving festival-goers chance to not only win some awesome swag, but to have a shot at winning a day pass to the Tito’s side stage lounge where visitors are treated to complimentary cocktails, shades seats and interactive extras like a braid bar and free massages. We recommend getting there early because the line gets pretty long.
AMEX Experience
Don’t be fooled by the name, the AMEX Experience is open to all festival goers and offers a much-needed break from the heat. The disco cowboy-inspired bar and market featuring Austin small businesses also gives you a chance to be introduced to some awesome drinks and vendors. Those who do have an AMEX card can enjoy free customized merch and access to a mystery merch window with surprise artist and festival items. This is all while supplies last.

Aperol Spritz Piazza
Calling all Aperol Spritz lovers! The drink of the summer has brough a special interactive area to ACL where you can get your picture taken and enjoy some interactive AR experiences.
Bonus Tracks Stage
This is one of our favorite stages to visit because not only is it shaded, but you never know what you’ll see at the Bonus Tracks Stage. In past years we’ve seen drag queen performances, foodie conversations, even one-on-ones with Brene Brown and Dave Grohl. This year you can dive into the culinary world with The Bear’s producers Courtney Storer and Ricky Staffieri, bring Sunday Funday to life with all-day drag and pop hits, kick things off with some Cowboy Can-Can action, and meet the legends behind Austin’s own Taco Mafia.
