<p>The Pecan Street Festival is amazingly fun. There are local singers and musicians on three stages, many vendors, and just a lot of fun. I went there in May and I had a blast and I hope to go again. </p>

<p>The Austin Film Festival is a four-day conference at the Driskill Hotel devoted to screenwriting, along with ten days of film screenings around town. You can buy just a film pass, which allows priority seating, or a weekend pass to the conference as well, or a full conference badge. They also have various volunteer and intern opportunities, which get you in free. This year the conference is October 20-23, and the films run through Oct 27.</p>

<p>Good thread idea!
SXSW is so expensive, I doubt I’ll be attending any time soon.
I didn’t even know about some of these, and I went to UT last year.
There’s Nocturnal: [Nocturnal</a> Festival Texas 2011 - Friday April 29th & Saturday April 30th 2011](<a href=“http://nocturnalfestival.com/TX/index.php]Nocturnal”>http://nocturnalfestival.com/TX/index.php)</p>
<p>SXSW has loads of free events.</p>
<p>^care to elaborate…?</p>
<p>The ones that occur at Auditorium Shores. Last SXSW, I was out of town for most of it but I got to go see Bright Eyes with some other bands.</p>
<p>There’s lots - just look for it when it gets closer to the festival. </p>
