BEHIND THE FRONT MARKET
Produced by Future Front Texas and powered by you, The Front Market showcases women and LGBTQ+ creatives, designers, makers and artists from the Texas South. A space where you can unapologetically support what you want to see in the world. 🌱
BEHIND WEEKEND TWO — NOVEMBER 27 AND 28
This weekend’s theme is Sustain Local.
We’ve curated an entirely Austin-local lineup, featuring vendors focused on ethical practices, sustainable goods and wellness—in honor of National Small Business Weekend. We’ll have fresh DJs and workshops each day, curated by our friends at Sustain Frame, too.
*We will be closed on November 27, due to expected heavy rains.

IRL event capacity is limited at all of our spaces to reduce crowding of any kind.
All of our IRL events will be held in outdoor and open-air spaces.
All guests at FFTX spaces are required to practice mutual respect and social distancing.

PREPARE YOUR VISIT TO THE FRONT MARKET
Ani's Day and Night is located at 7107 E Riverside Drive Austin, Texas 78741. Opened in May 2021, Ani’s is a community-oriented coffee shop and bar for neighbors old and new, regulars and visitors, and beverage drinkers of all kinds.
WHERE TO PARK: Ani's has a 60-car parking lot and plenty of free street spots available. We always recommend carpooling and/or utilizing public transportation, if you can, though! There's a bus stop nearby.
WHAT TO DO: We've reserved Ani's entire grassy side lot for this outdoor market series. Each weekend, you'll have 25+ vendors to discover each day—plus, we've got DJ sets, workshops and a raffle going on to support micro-grants for independent creatives and founders.
WHAT TO EAT/DRINK: Ani's is home to three incredible food trucks and offers a full coffee menu and bar. Everything's delicious (we know this, because we've literally tried everything, at this point).
