The Old Pecan Street Association

Old Pecan Street Association has been around for over 30 years. It was started by a group of women to ensure that Old Pecan Street (6th Street) would continue to be remembered by the city.  They in turn created the Old Pecan Street  Festival which started with a mere dozen booths and now has over 300 vendors every year.  The Spring and the Fall show attract local artist from all over Austin and central Texas.  Over 100,000 people attend the festivals yearly and all the profits from the festival go back into preserving  Old Pecan Street. Well over $75,000 per year is put into beautifying the street.
