BEHIND THE FRONT FESTIVAL The Front Fest is an end-of-summer festival, featuring performances, films and creative experiences curated by Future Front. Hosted annually in Austin, we put Texas women and LGBTQ+ artists of all kinds at the front of our lineups. Over the course of a weekend, we celebrate the power of creative community and fundraise for Future Front’s Creative Future of Texas Fund. Formerly known as BABES FEST, the festival has seen more than 6,000 guests and showcased more than 550 women and LGBTQ+ artists since 2017. Learn more at thefrontfest.com/why.
