The three-day festival--inspired by the long-running PBS music show "Austin City Limits"--will also feature an arts festival and a food fair, as well as an area inside the park with games and entertainment for children, including a "petting zoo" featuring musical instruments.

Reacting to criticism from earlier years of the festival that typical summer temperatures in Austin made the event unpleasant for many, organizers are including more man-made shade, drinking fountains and misting areas, according to a press release.
