C3 Presents released the 2021 Austin City Limits Music Festival Economic Impact Report on Tuesday.
The annual two-weekend event continues to contribute significantly to Austin’s economy. In 2021 alone, the festival contributed $345 million to the Austin economy, which is the equivalent of 3,578 full time jobs. Since C3 began tracking economic impact in 2006, more than $2.6 billion has been generated for the Austin economy.
C3 Presents also announced that $6.7 million will be donated to the Austin Parks Foundation for citywide park improvements. Over the last 17 years, the city’s partnership with festival organizers has led to more than $48 million for the local public park system.
Proceeds from the 2021 ACLMF will be put toward several park projects in all 10 City Council districts.
