Pack your picnic and pick a partner!

It’s time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Austin Friends of Traditional Music (AFTM)! Founded in 1974, AFTM has been supporting, promoting, and performing traditional music and dance representing all traditional cultures and styles since then. Coming to the French Legation, AFTM will bring live string band music from the Rusty Nail and Two Goat bands, and dance callers to teach every dance. No dance experience necessary, all dances taught, family friendly, and free admission!

Admission to the grounds, dance, and jam are free. Tickets can be purchased to tour the historic structures in the Visitor Center.
