Austin Witchfest 2026

About Austin Witchfest

Austin Witchfest Inc. is an Austin-based 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to the celebration, education and practice of witchcraft, in all it's forms. Held in the indoor spaces of the Palmer Events Center, near the heart of Austin and next to the beautiful spaces of Butler Park, we hope that you will join us for a day full of workshops, shopping, divination, entertainment and more!

About the Venue
Originally an airplane hangar purchased in 1940 by the City of Austin, the Palmer Events Center (PEC) was established in 1998 after a board voted for an entire renovation, culminating in a multi-purpose venue next to Butler Park with a gorgeous view of downtown Austin. Powered 100% by renewable energy from Austin Energy's Green Choice Program, PEC's massive spaces, including five conference rooms and balcony on the second floor, and close proximity to many hotels makes it a great venue for our festival.n coming soon!
