BEHIND THE FRONT FEST
The Front Fest is an end-of-summer festival, featuring performances, films and creative experiences curated by Future Front.
Hosted annually in Austin, we put Texas women and LGBTQ+ creatives of all kinds at the front of our lineups.
Over the course of a weekend, we celebrate the power of creative community and fundraise for Future Front’s micro-grants and mental health initiatives. Formerly known as BABES FEST, the festival has seen more than 5,000 guests and showcased more than 500 women and LGBTQ+ artists and creators. Learn more at thefrontfest.com/why.
