FUNK N' SOUR FEST IS BACK OCTOBER 22ND!

Funk n' Sour Fest returns this fall for our favorite night of the year for food and drink in Central Texas. We're honored to be joined by 40 (and counting) of the best restaurants, breweries, wineries, and distilleries from across our region. As always, each restaurant will collaborate with a beverage producer to create two special, one-night-only food-and-drink pairings. We hope you'll join us under the stars at Jester King for an evening celebrating the creativity, collaboration, and incredible culinary and beverage talent of Central Texas.

CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS OR FOOD ALLERGIES?

Participating chefs will be serving a wide variety of dishes, but because Funk n’ Sour involves dozens of independent producers and a large number of ingredients, we cannot guarantee accommodations for specific dietary restrictions or food allergies. Guests with allergies should speak directly with the participating restaurant before sampling a dish.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

Funk n’ Sour is a rain-or-shine event. In the event of rain, the event will be moved under the cover of our pole barn. In the event of severe weather that affects our ability to safely hold the event, we’ll communicate directly with ticket holders.

Yes. Please keep your event wristband on for re-entry.

ARE TICKETS REFUNDABLE OR TRANSFERABLE?

Tickets are nonrefundable, but you may transfer your ticket to another guest if you’re unable to attend.

Doors open at 6pm. Pairings will be available beginning at 7pm. The event ends at 10pm. We recommend arriving near the beginning of the event so you have plenty of time to experience all of the pairings.
