AUSTIN, Texas — When attending any music festival, it's important to stay hydrated, wear sensible shoes and make sure you eat something. Thankfully, the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) makes the last step pretty easy by keeping most of its food offerings in one place.
Attendees can find most food in the "ACL Eats" area, located between the Barton Springs Beer Hall and the Tito's Handmade Vodka Stage, not too far from the fest's iconic flags. Meanwhile, "ACL Sweets" – called "More Eats" during previous festivals – is located near the T-Mobile and Bonus Tracks stages, not too far from the festival's Barton Springs East entrance.
