Eeyore's Birthday Party

Eeyore's Birthday Party is Austin's iconic free festival since 1963, held on the last Saturday in April at Pease District Park to celebrate the gloomy donkey from Winnie-the-Pooh!

Picture this: colorful costumes everywhere, massive drum circles thumping with energy, live music jamming, and kids giggling at family-friendly games—all while munching on food from local non-profits. A live donkey and maypole nod to its quirky traditions, with proceeds funding Central Texas charities run by 100% volunteer power from Friends of the Forest Foundation.

• Attend for free fun from late morning to dusk (rain date next weekend).
• Volunteer for crews like setup, cleanup (with free lunch!), or even get reimbursed for TABC certification.
• Join volunteer meetings at Cherrywood Coffeehouse on April 9th, 16th, or 23rd at 7pm to pick your role and meet the crew.
• Perfect for families, community vibes, and that feel-good Austin spirit!
