HOW WE’RE STAYING SAFE
We offer some lovely virtual options for those uncomfortable gathering in-person.
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.
All guests are expected to follow APH’s Stage 3 Guidelines, including:
Fully vaccinated individuals should wear a mask when indoors and unable to socially distance.
Partially or unvaccinated individuals should wear a mask at all times.
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).
OUR COVID-19 GUIDELINES:
The Front Market is currently hosted entirely outdoors or online.
All markets guests are required to practice mutual respect and social distancing.
All guests are required to follow Austin Public Health Guidelines:
Fully vaccinated individuals should wear a mask when indoors and/or unable to socially distance outdoors.
