It is connected to Austin\u2019s historic Sixth Street district, which was once called Pecan Street. It is held twice a year, usually in the spring and fall.<\/p>\nIt is organized by the Pecan Street Association, a nonprofit group. The organization uses festival proceeds to help preserve the history and character of Sixth Street. This year, the festival is presented by Thomas J. Henry.<\/p>\n
For many years, the festival took place along Sixth Street in downtown Austin. The event later moved to Hill Country Galleria<\/a> in Bee Cave to accommodate larger crowds and improve accessibility.
