The Far Out Farmers Market

The Far Out Farmers Market is back at The Far Out Lounge & Stage on Sunday, August 16, from 10 AM to 2 PM. It's a Sunday morning tradition that fills the venue's outdoor space with local vendor pop-up shops and fresh food, and it's free to enter.

If you're heading out this particular Sunday, there's an extra draw: Goat Shenanigans is bringing friendly goats to pet and photograph. They'll be there on August 16 and again on August 23, so if you're bringing kids or just want a photo with a goat, those are your two dates. After that, the market continues every Sunday starting in September.

For a bit of context on the spot, The Far Out Lounge & Stage opened in 2019 at 8504 South Congress, run by Bay Anthon and Pedro Carvalho. It leans hard into old Austin—part of the building was actually constructed from the original bar that opened on the site back in 1908. It was voted Best New Venue at the 2020 Austin Music Awards and took home the Austin Chronicle 'Best of Austin' Critic's Poll in 2019. On Sunday mornings, the outdoor area shifts from a music venue to a farmers market, with local vendors and fresh food taking over.

So, you've got local pop-ups and fresh food every Sunday, with the goats appearing on August 16 and August 23. It's free to come by, and it runs from 10 AM to 2 PM at 8504 South Congress.
