When the street plan for Austin was first laid out, the east-west streets were given the names of trees. Soon after, numbers replaced the tree-named streets. Pecan Street is the old name for the current 6th Street of Austin. The Old Pecan Street Spring Festival honour the original name of the street.
Since it's inception in the year 1978, this bi-annual festival has grown to cover 24 city blocks compared to its modest beginning which spawned only one city block. Attracting more than 300,000 people from all walks of life, the festival showcases arts, entertainment, food, performance and many more.
The atmosphere is almost like the Little Penang Street Market (but bigger) and it's a surprise that stuff like Batik Sarungs and Henna (body art) can also be found here!
