The Coca-Cola Sips & Sounds Summer Festival is returning to Austin this weekend, June 29-30. Last year the first Sips & Sounds Festival was held at Waterloo Park, this year’s festival will move to the Circuit of the Americas and will be extended to a two-day event. 

Headlining the festival will be John Pardi, who is the first Californian to be invited to join the Grand Ole Opry, and Kelsea Ballerini who was recently in Austin hosting the CMT Awards. The festival will also feature rising country stars such as Maren Morris, Marcus Kings, and the War and Treaty. Presented by Coke Studio, the one-of-a-kind experience from Coca-Cola will bring 15 epic performances from today’s top artists across two stages over two days.

During the concert there will be a wide variety of activities for festival goers. Step into the booth and lend your vocals to the Sips and Sounds track presented by Coke Studios. Cinemark Theaters will host a pop-up theater where guests can immerse themselves in the magic of the movies with cherished movie snacks. You can also stay cool during the festival by visiting the ICEE Igloo, an air-conditioned lounge with various ICEE frozen beverages available for purchase. You can also enjoy yard games and giveaways.
