Join us for the 20th YEAR of our local, free, grassroots music festival, right here in Austin, TX!
The Texas Community Music Festival kicked off in Austin on April 29, 2006 at Central Market Cafe North. The very first TCMF drew approximately 10,000 attendees over the four-day event, far exceeding expectations and setting the stage for what has now become a ten-day tradition.

TCMF News
AUSTIN – TCMF 18 kicked off Friday, April 4, and music lovers (and the musicians they love to hear) battled rain, wind and cold weather all weekend. That didn’t dampen anybody’s spirits though, as the intrepid audience was treated to a weekend of outstanding music as diverse as Austin itself. Remarkably, only one set was cancelled due to weather. The forecast for this week is excellent, and we’ll be back on the main patio Monday…
The 18th Texas Community Music Festival kicks off Friday April 4 at Central Market North, with performances by the Yes Ma’am Brass Band and Rhythm Congress. As always, April weather is unpredictable. And our opening weekend will be no different. In the event of rain, TCMF will be staged on the covered deck of the Central Market Cafe. We hope to see you soon!
