Join The Junior League of Austin for the culinary event of the spring season! Austin Entertains: A Night to Sip and Savor kicks off Women's History Month on March 6, 2025 with a spectacular tasting event showcasing the Austin area’s top female chefs, bartenders, spirit purveyors, winemakers and industry leaders. Attendees will also enjoy unique live entertainment, special interactive experiences, an incredible silent auction and raffle lineup, and so much more.

In addition to a fun evening of food, drinks, and entertainment, Austin Entertains fellowship awards will be presented that evening to three of the participants which help further their educational, business, and professional development. The Austin Entertains fundraiser is also proud to spotlight one of JLA’s signature programs, Food In Tummies (FIT), which combats food insecurity in East Austin and the Del Valle Independent School District. Last year, Austin Entertains raised over $88,000, which is equivalent to 17,500 bags of food.

The 9th annual Austin Entertains will take place at The Junior League of Austin’s Community Impact Center. VIP starts at 6 PM and General Admission at 7 PM.
