Austin Parks Foundation will host its annual Party for the Parks on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at Zilker Park, taking over the Tito’s stage at Austin City Limits Music Festival for a night of live music, community, and fundraising between the festival’s two weekends.

The ticketed benefit, starting at $300 and on sale Aug. 20 at party.austinparks.org, offers a festival-style experience with catering by Tacodeli, drinks from local beverage brands, an open bar, shuttle service, and fundraising games and auctions. CBS Austin’s Trevor Scott and Good Party ATX’s Sarah Wolf will emcee the evening.

Headlining this year’s event is indie electro-pop act Passion Pit, whose frontman, Michael Angelakos, returns to his solo roots with a new album, “Nine Times Your Torch Song,” currently being released in phases.

Proceeds will support APF’s efforts to maintain and improve nearly 400 parks and trails across Austin. The event also highlights the foundation’s longstanding partnership with ACL Fest, which has funneled more than $71 million into Austin’s green spaces over the past two decades.
