A Night of Creativity and Celebration in Austin as TRIBEZA Honors the 2025 Curators
Under the oak trees of Green Pastures, Austin’s creatives gathered for a high-energy fall evening of music, cuisine and community spirit
It was a picture-perfect fall evening as TRIBEZA gathered Austin’s creative community to celebrate ten extraordinary individuals named the 2025 TRIBEZA Curators — acclaimed chefs, visionary designers, distinguished artists, elite athletes and cultural trailblazers shaping the city.
The celebration unfolded at the storied Green Pastures estate, where legacy and artistry intertwined beneath the glow of string lights illuminating the property’s oak trees. It was the kind of evening that reminds everyone why Austin always feels so electric. The garden party setting was a ideal for a high-spirited soirée of elegance and Austin charm.
Music, Cocktails, Bites & More
Guests enjoyed cocktails, mixed drinks and specialty refreshments from Green Pastures’ new tasting menu, Carabuena Tequila, Meanwhile Brewing, Goodnight Loving Vodka, Grapes & Rye, Rambler Sparkling Water, Bawi Agua Fresca and Siete Pescados. Delicious bites from local favorite restaurants such as Verbena, The Kitchen, Skipjack Oyster and LORO kept everyone going back for seconds, followed by dessert from Friend Cakes with a gorgeous olive oil cake that looked like a work of art.
The lively sounds of THEBROSFRESH filled the garden with a soulful performance – a true highlight of the party. Music, laughter and conversation flowed throughout the evening.
