Since last year, I have been telling myself to take a peek at Sixth Street. The venue that is well-known to be the heart of live entertainment and most desirable hang-out spot in Austin Downtown. Being too occupied with other activities, I did not seem to have time until recently when we turned up at 'Old Pecan Street Festival' which was held on the first weekend of May (1 & 2 May) 2010.

Variety of choices to chow down...
Held along Sixth Street or formerly known as Pecan Street, the festival is a biannual event that runs on a weekend in spring and fall each year. It has been an Austin's tradition for the past 32 years where the artisans from nationwide flock, display and sell their homemade art and craft work. Interestingly, here is where I found anything is possible, the wildest imagination and outrageous creativity that God has given to mankind!
Flavored pasta anyone?
Woodcrafed musical instruments
'Nutrious' red snapper - full with 'iron'..
We don't call 911
These pursues are made from recycle candy wrappers!
Apart from the national products, rows of international vendors also take part in this event including from neighboring region like Peru and as far as Nepal, Vietnam and Africa.
Keychains and souvenir from Peru?
Guess this is a chance to walk along Sixth Street, passing by the bars, peeping into cafes, upscale restaurants and checking out live entertainment venues besides having a great time catching street performers and watching people!
Pick what you like...
Anything to buy? There are plenty if you are fancy or love sculptures, paintings, handmade woman accessories/jewelery, home and garden decors, woodwork, ironwork, candles, unconventional clothings and finger food!
Kids love him!
All walks of life, we flock and have fun!
Sixth Street - the music capital of Austin!
Dying for cold drinks?
