There's nothing like a great summer festival. If you're looking forward to a season of lounging outdoors and enjoying what you love, these five Austin-based companies will help.
Everfest
If a summer full of festival fun is what you're looking for, Everfest is the place to start. The site's database has information on hundreds of festivals across the country across all genres — think music, food and wine, film and more. Founder Paul Cross likens the platform to a hybrid of Tripadvisor and IMDB for festivals across the globe.
JamFeed
JamFeed's music app keeps you up to date with your favorite artists, bands and festivals. Love a certain music festival? Follow them with the app for news updates, schedules, maps and more. Festival organizers and bands can also stay in touch with fans directly on the app. You can even stream music through the app to get ready for all your favorite shows.
Ticketbud
Remeber Paul Cross of Everfest? Before he was making sure you're heading to as many festivals as you possibly can, he ran Ticketbud. If you're the one hosting an event this summer, use the free event management service to sell tickets, promote, and register the event. They've ticketed over 300 events across 73 of their locations and surpassed over 2 million tickets sold through the platform.
MusicMeetsVideo
Music Meets Video (MMV) is a promotional platform for emerging and established artists to connect to a larger fanbase. Their fun cover and original song competitions are great entertainment and it'll help you discover new musicians.
Localeur
Localeur is a community of local insiders who want to help you experience local in their city. While review sites lack authenticity and local credibility, and travel guide books go out of date the moment they're published, Localeur gives you a curated look into what it's like to be a local. So, if you're headed to another city for a festival this summer, head to Localeur to attend like a local would.
