The 23rd Austin City Limits Music Festival will take place at Zilker Park on October 4–6 and October 11–13. The City of Austin is preparing to welcome music fans from across the country for these two weekends.

Before the festival begins, attendees are encouraged to review guidance from the City of Austin to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Austin Public Health (APH) advises attendees to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, use hand sanitizer, wash hands frequently, and stay home if feeling unwell.

The City of Austin will use X and Facebook to share relevant information during the festival. The Austin Police Department, Austin-Travis County EMS, Austin Fire Department, and Austin Emergency Management will also use their X feeds for time-sensitive notifications.

ACL Fest will provide updates through their website, Facebook, X, Instagram, and the ACL Music Fest app.

"We strive to continually update and evolve our safety and security protocols," said a representative from ACL Fest and C3 Presents. "With this in mind, we are partnering with This Must Be the Place, an overdose prevention nonprofit, who will educate music fans about the dangers of Fentanyl and supply them with the life-saving opioid reversal medicine, Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan. We encourage attendees to stop by their booth at the festival and learn more."

The Austin Center for Events (ACE) is a collaborative assembly of City of Austin departments designed to streamline special event permitting on public and private property. ACE includes teams from various city departments such as Public Health, Transportation and Public Works, Parks, Music, Police, Fire, EMS, Resource Recovery, Development Services, and partner agencies. They work closely with event organizers throughout the special event permitting process.
