In the past two years, Austin City Limits Music Festival has given back over $1 million to its host, the Austin Parks Foundation, for Zilker Park improvements and to fund projects – like new hike and bike trails, off leash dog parks, and greening initiatives – throughout the city of Austin. “We’re thrilled to be associated with one of the country’s premier music festivals. When we combine contributions from the ACL Music Festival with the work of volunteers and the Austin Parks and Recreation Department, the impact on Austin’s parks is tremendous,” notes Charlie McCabe, Executive Director of the Austin Parks Foundation and local beneficiary of the event.
