Hot Luck returns Memorial Day Weekend (May 22-25) in 2025. The all-in Whole Enchilada ticket package is highly recommended for the most complete experience.

There is no other festival quite like Hot Luck, where groundbreaking and genre-bending chefs from across the country—both emerging and established—set the stage for a weekend of live food and music events in dramatic, unforgettable environments. Venues mosey gracefully from downtown concert halls to green grove farms beyond the city limits, offering a varied and unique set of experiences along the way. Here’s where industry friendships and relationships are forged, and original, astonishing food is served nightly by restaurant teams from across the country to guests from around the world.
Hot Luck is a hungry love letter to the city of Austin, launched in 2017 in collaboration with world-class food, music, and cultural scenes and the brainchild of pitmaster and author Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue; Guerilla Suit/Mohawk owner and man about town James Moody, and Feast Portland co-founder and food writer and food festival guy Mike Thelin. Hot Luck is proud to benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation.
